NEW YORK (July 10, 2013) – The success of RIMS 2012 Annual Conference & Exhibition in Philadelphia was acknowledged by the award-winning Trade Show Executive magazine and included in the publication’s “Fastest 50” ranking.  According to the magazine, RIMS ’12 grew faster than 99 percent of the other U.S. shows in the exhibitor category (ranked #19) and overall attendance category (ranked #23).
