Top Industry Supplier Award goes to SmartSource

The most innovative and distinguished suppliers in the Trade Show & Meetings industry are selected to receive the Top Industry Supplier Award from Conventions.net. It’s no surprise that the Nation’s largest Computer and AV rental company was selected to receive this award, but nonetheless SmartSource Rentals is proud to be recognized for outstanding contributions and positive impact within the Trade Show and Meetings industry. The Conventions.net Top Supplier Award is the only one of its kind within the Trade Show & Meeting industry for suppliers.

SmartSource has been heavily involved in providing high quality Computer and AV rental equipment and technology solutions to trade shows, meetings, conventions, expos and countless similar events for decades. We have a huge depth of experience among all our staff and a reputation for doing whatever it takes to meet the unique needs of clients leading up to an event, on the trade show floor or meeting room, and afterwards with pickup and teardown.

A large majority of companies, vendors, and small businesses continually come back to SmartSource year after year to handle their meetings and trade show rental needs. These businesses know they can depend on SmartSource in any city, for any size show, for any amount of time. They know that SmartSource owns their own tradeshow rental equipment, has additional items or replacements nearby in one of their 22 locations, and has professional techs with real trade show and meeting experience to help get the equipment setup and running on time and up to spec.

Another advantage to renting Computer & AV equipment from a National leader like SmartSource Rentals, is the ability to provide the same equipment and solutions to every show a business attends throughout the season or the year. There is a major relief in knowing one company has the ability to provide the same order, setup, or equipment to 50 shows around the nation or just 5 shows around the same area. Working with one point of contact who is familiar with an order and can replicate that order anywhere you need it, can save precious time, energy, and money. Nobody wants to keep track of five different companies, five different sales representatives, and five different sets of equipment when they have the same need for their meeting or trade show. This is why businesses and companies continue to choose SmartSource, and this is why SmartSource was awarded the Top Industry Supplier Award from Conventions.net!

If you’re not happy with your current rental provider, or are looking for ways to save money or improve on your existing rental agreement give us a call and see how we can help. 800.888.8686 or fill out our rental quote form.
