Nuvista provides audio-visual and labor (I&D) services to the trade show and event industries. Our philosophy reaches beyond exceptional service. We take a holistic approach to your program by offering complete management of all of your on-site vendors. Our leadership within the E2MA Advocacy Committee puts us in a unique position that has translated into significant savings for our clients. ROI has always been difficult to measure at trade shows and events for numerous reasons. One of the main issues with measurement is the fact that you do not know what you will be spending prior to making the decision to participate. Unfortunately, the trade show and event industry developed a reputation for unpredictable and inflated pricing. Exhibitors deserve to know what they are going to spend prior to making a decision and, more importantly, they need to be charged fair market value.
