Trade show producer Urban Expositions has promoted Donna Guess to vice president of trade shows and named Stephanie Buice as director of buyer relations.

In the newly created position, Guess will oversee sales and operations for 13 out of 21 Urban Expositions shows.

Guess joined the company 10 years ago, serving most recently as executive director of the company's Florida division.

"(Donna) has extensive industry experience and a strong understanding of sales and operations, which allows upper management to place our trust in Donna as we continue to strengthen and enhance our current shows and look for new business opportunities,"said Doug Miller, president.

Buice will be responsible for further strengthening relationships with current and prospective retail attendees for each of the company's shows.

She will report to Tim von Gal, executive vice president, marketing and new business development. Previously, Buice served as an assistant account executive for Scharbo & Company.
