Our Journey

icon1 Communications began as a custom software development company in 2001. Since then, we have grown into a full-service cloud-based technology provider specializing in the
events and brand activations industries.

Our ability to adapt and pivot as a boot strapped company has allowed us to develop specialized solutions for the exhibit and trade show industries, with a quick
turnaround. Today, we are proud to support thousands of professionals
and large organizations delivering SAAs based applications. 

icon1 Communications continues to grow, innovate, and offer services and solutions
to exhibit companies and organizations that have made us their trusted partner.

2001

Since opening our doors in 2001, Icon1 Communications has been a pioneer in developing custom cloud-based solutions tailored to client needs—well before “the cloud” became a household term.

2005

Building on early success, we turned our focus to the exhibit and trade show industry, delivering specialized technology for some of the world’s leading organizations.

2007

This journey led to the launch of Event Express, our flagship solution. With version 3.0, we introduced a more powerful, tailored platform that supports both organizations and exhibit companies in delivering seamless event services.

2011

Recognizing the growing demands in the event space, we continued to evolve, our cloud-based platforms by expanding our offerings to include a comprehensive conference platform, advanced asset management tools, and an intuitive call for papers system.

2025

Our commitment to progress and excellence remains at the heart of everything we do. In 2025, we're proud to introduce Eventi Express—a next-generation platform designed to bring even greater value to our clients and further solidify our role as a leader in event and asset management technology.
