21st Century Expo Group, Inc. and TMG Events, LLC are businesses within the $15 billion US trade show and event industry that has been rapidly expanding within the Washington Metropolitan region (DMV) and internationally. Executing an exhibition or special event that appears to run seamlessly to its attendees is actually the result of many “behind the scenes” vendors, facility personnel, and general service contractors (GSC).

 

For over 27 years, 21st Century Expo Group, Inc. has served as a GSC whose expertise and resources are the foundation of event production, exhibit/tradeshow management, and supply chain logistics for government agencies, national associations, and international corporations events with services that include:

  • Tradeshow production and management
  • Event design/decoration
  • Specialty equipment and furnishings
  • Display design and construction
  • Customized skilled labor services

Competitive Advantage

Consolidation within the highly competitive GSC market over the past 20 years has created a competitive advantage for companies like 21stCEG. Many association and corporate event planners prefer working with client-centric GSCs, like 21stCEG, that are able to provide personalized services with the capacity to service their events nationally.

 

21stCEG distinguishes itself from the competition by offering GSC services with a specialization in the Washington Metropolitan region locally and nationally, the ethnic/minority and supplier diversity/inclusion niche. As a 27-year-old minority, women, and family owned company we stand out due to our cultural/community status, market credibility, experience, personalized services and product offerings.

 

Due to the changing landscape that’s being propelled by technology, social media, and customer demand for high value and cost effective services, GSCs are now going beyond the core competencies through corporate acquisitions or the development of spin-offs with a specific market focus. The factors that are central to the development of a new event based entity include expansion of global corporate marketing activities, increased demand for customized event services, technologies, and skilled labor, outsourcing of event design, production, planning and customized services.
