Event Marketing Cloud Company Feathr Inks Deal with Reed Exhibitions

February 7, 2016

Reed Exhibitions, the world’s leading event organizer, and Feathr, the Event Marketing Cloud™ helping grow and monetize events through digital channels, have expanded their partnership to bring Feathr to more than 100 of Reed’s events around the globe.

“Feathr is the first digital marketing suite truly built around the needs of the modern trade show,” said Ted Rawson, chief digital officer at Reed Exhibitions.

He added, “After seeing strong results with our North American shows, it was a priority to empower our other business units with this technology.”

Notable Reed events already leveraging Feathr include Comic Con New York, which used Feathr’s monetization features to sell and deliver millions of digital impressions for sponsors like T-Mobile and Sotheby’s.

“Reed has been an amazing partner and we are excited for the opportunity to continue driving growth for their events,” said Aleksander Levental, co-founder and CEO at Feathr. “They are true industry leaders, and organizers large and small can learn from the trail they are blazing.”

The partnership will cover 11 business units across five continents, including Reed’s portfolio in France, Germany, China, India, Australia and Brazil.

Feathr works with UBM, Clarion Events, Emerald Expositions and more and has been serving the event industry since 2012, working with more than 450 conferences, trade shows and associations around the world.

HERE, EVENTS HELP YOUR COMPANY AND THE COMMUNITY
MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.    Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.    Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.   The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant. In 2023, these efforts supported over 3,500 jobs across more than 30 states, contributed over $214 million in income for diverse-owned businesses and generated more than $62 million in tax revenue. The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.    MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift. Since 2017, the program has successfully graduated 105 diverse-owned businesses and is on track to achieve its goal of 150 graduates by 2025.     MGM Resorts’ commitment to supplier diversity not only enhances its business operations but also plays a crucial role in uplifting communities and fostering economic development. This approach reinforces the idea that diversity is a powerful driver of innovation and resilience, benefiting both the company and the wider community.
