BizBash Launches Newspaper for Meeting and Event Planners

Posted on March 14, 2002

The BizBash Event Idea Center, a media company serving the event, trade show, and business entertaining community in New York City, announced that it has launched a new business-to-business newspaper, the BizBash Event Style Reporter.

The 60-page, four-color publication includes news from New York City events and stories about event resources and industry leaders, and will complement the company's online service, BizBash.com, and its annual trade show, the BizBash Javits Event Expo. The first issue debuts with a circulation of 20,000, and a cover story entitled "New York's Top 100 Events," a list of the city's biggest annual events.

"We are thrilled to launch our print publication as the industry is starting to rebound from the effects of September 11," said David Adler, CEO and Founder of BizBash. "Many companies are getting back to planning events and meetings now, and we're here to give them fresh ideas from real events and expose them to our great group of advertisers." Marketing partners and advertisers in the first issue of the BizBash Event Style Reporter include American Express, Lillian Vernon, the Javits Center, the Ellis Island Immigration Museum and the `21' Club.

The BizBash Event Idea Center (BizBash.com) publishes the BizBash Event Style Reporter newspaper and the BizBash Event Style Alert and the BizBash New York Event Calendar email newsletters, and hosts the annual BizBash Javits Event Expo. The company was founded on the premise that the regional meeting, event and trade show market is underserved. Prior to September 11th, New York hosted more than 100,000 business events and meetings each year, representing a $4 billion industry.
