The OFA Short Course trade show again has been named as one of the largest trade shows by the annual edition of the Tradeshow Week 200. With more than 150,000 net square feet of exhibit space, the OFA Short Course moved up to #142 in the United States for 2009. The show was #174 the previous year and made its list debut four years ago at #194.

The 2010 OFA Short Course, which will take place July 10 to 13 in Columbus, Ohio, will have more than 1,500 spaces and 150 educational sessions. Attendance is expected to be approximately 9,000. “The show gets better each year because OFA is committed to making the Short Course a high quality event for both attendees and exhibitors.” said Wendy McAtee, OFA’s director of expositions.

Tradeshow Week magazine annually ranks the impact of trade shows by the net square footage of space sold. For more information on OFA Short Course, visit www.ofa.org.
