RSSI C&S Exhibition
May 17th - 19th, 2010
Qwest Convention Center
The RSSI Exhibition is returning to Omaha in 2010 to celebrate the 50th annual RSSI C&S Exhibition. After the 2005 experience, the RSSI Board of Directors knew they had to return to Omaha. The Qwest Convention Center has been selected as the venue for the 2010 RSSI Annual C&S Exhibition, being held May 18th and 19th. Move-in and set-up will be on Monday, May 17th. The Annual Membership Meeting will also be held on Monday, May 17th.
The “Omaha Experience” in 2005 was unbelievable. RSSI set records in both the number of booth spaces occupied and the total attendance. As we celebrate our 50th Annual Exhibition, we are anticipating that 2010 will again be received as positively.
