Words: Chris ColemanThe Trade Show News Network (TSNN) recently released the 2013 TSNN Top 250 Trade Show rankings of the largest shows in the U.S. last year. The Rental Show 2013 was ranked in the Top 100 for the third straight year and is in the top third of all U.S. trade shows. It was held at The Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas from Feb. 10-13.
