At Corcoran, we’re helping our association clients create profitable exhibits & sponsorship programs.

Whether you’re facing an overextended staff, shrinking budgets, or exhibit space and sponsorship reductions, outsourcing to Corcoran can help you reinvigorate your expo. We know it takes hours of prospecting for potential exhibitors and sponsors, and even more time managing the needs of the current exhibitor and sponsor base.

It’s not easy. It’s hard work – it’s what we do every day for our clients.

Contact our team to learn how Corcoran can develop a sales program that attracts companies to your expo and helps maintain an important source of revenue for your association.

We’re more than a collection of successful trade show experts. We’re the team you’ll stick with.

We put a lot of value in personal connections and our retention rate shows that our clients and exhibitors do too—the average length of our client relationship is 10 years. Our first client, the National Beer Wholesalers Association, has been one of our valued partners for all 30+ years of our existence.

"Corcoran has been an integral part of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) National Conference & Exhibition’s success for many years. They helped us navigate the uncertainty of the last four years and come out stronger on the other side, with our 2024 exhibit sales on pace to surpass 2019. I trust them completely to keep delivering outstanding results and exceeding expectations every year."

"Thank you to Corcoran for the excellent exhibit and sponsor support they provide for the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). From the start of our working relationship, Corcoran has been instrumental in our conference success. The guidance and support we received through a difficult transition was excellent and quite honestly priceless. We greatly appreciate our partnership with Corcoran; one of the best decisions we have made as an organization. I look forward to working with their team for many years!”

"When I joined the Water Quality Association (WQA) in 2021, I evaluated all our event vendor partners and immediately it became apparent that Corcoran was an integral and valuable part of our team, not just another vendor partner. They help us shine! Since partnering with Corcoran in 2016, they have consistently delivered exceptional service to our exhibitors while thoughtfully growing our Expo–​between 2021 and 2024, ​our NSF ​increased by 55% and revenue by 62%. I can always count on Corcoran for sage advice and support. I look forward to our continued collaboration."
