Leading the strategic planning, event management and business partner relationships for the ISC portfolio, Reed has appointed Ed Several, senior vice president. Nichols will report to Several in his new role. Several brings a strong background in event management, marketing, sales, and operational performance to the ISC portfolio, as well as new and innovative concepts to trade shows marketing. Applying his robust background in retail, packaged goods and trade show marketing, Several is currently responsible for growth and increased customer satisfaction and loyalty for Reed's Professional Golf Association events portfolio, the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, the National Hardware Show and will add BuildingsNY, GreenBuildingsNY and EMS Today to his portfolio.
