David Audrain RESIZED

AMERICAS - Clarion Events has confirmed the appointment of Messe Frankfurt North America’s president as its new CEO and president for the region.
 
David Audrain assumes the newly-created position of president and CEO of Clarion Events North America.
 
“North America is our number one target growth market and with almost 20 years experience in the North American exhibition industry, Audrain is the perfect person to help us expand our business into this market, including targeting management contracts,” said Simon Kimble, CEO of Clarion Events.
 
Clarion Events’s most recent US projects include the launch of an American edition of its Counter Terror Expo, produced under the direction of VP Wayne Crawford in Washington DC. The company claims it will now be looking at a broad base of opportunities for growth, including acquisitions and further launches.
