icon1 Communications Timeline

Our Journey

Founded in 2001, icon1 Communications has evolved into a full-service, cloud-based technology provider specializing in the events, exhibit and brand activations industries.  We also, on occasion develop, design and implement specialized cloud-based solutions for a wide range of industries.

Our agility as a bootstrapped company has enabled us to adapt and pivot quickly, developing specialized solutions for the events, exhibit and trade show sectors with impressive turnaround times, meeting the unique demands of an industry that moves quickly.

Today, we’re proud to support thousands of professionals, exhibit companies and leading organizations with robust SaaS-based applications that power operations, efficiency, elevate experiences, and drive results.

2001

icon1 Communications opens its doors and begins developing cloud-based solutions for various industries before “the cloud” became a buzzword.

2005

Building on early success, we turned our focus to the event, 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 event program management and exhibit asset management solution. Since the launch in 2007, Event Express continues to remain our hero product that supports both organizations and exhibit companies in delivering seamless event services.

2011

Recognizing the growing demands in the events 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 our next generation Event Express—a platform designed to bring even greater value to our clients and further solidify our role as a leader in event and exhibit asset management technology.
