Happy National Intern Day!   At Clarion, our interns bring fresh ideas, ask great questions, and challenge us to see things from new perspectives. They make a real impact on our business while gaining hands-on experience across the events industry.   We're proud to invest in the next generation of talent because the future of events will be shaped by curious, capable people who are ready to learn, grow, and lead.   To all of our interns, thank you for your energy, creativity, and the contributions you've made this summer. It's been a pleasure to be part of your journey, and we can't wait to see what you do next.   #CareerGrowth #TalentDevelopment #NationalInternDay

This Pride Month, Clarion Events North America employees across our offices and remote teams came together to support LGBTQ+ youth through a partnership with The Trevor Project. Together, we wrote nearly 200 letters of encouragement—sharing messages of support, affirmation, and hope with young people who may need it most. We're proud of the collective effort behind this initiative and grateful to everyone who participated. It's a meaningful example of how small actions, taken together, can have a lasting impact.

📣 Clarion Events North America will be closed from Monday, June 29 through Friday, July 3, 2026, for our annual summer break.   This dedicated time away gives many of our team members a chance to rest, recharge, and spend time with family and friends. Investing in our people remains one of the most important ways we support long-term success.   At the same time, we'd like to recognize and thank the teams supporting events, customers, and critical business operations during this period. Your commitment helps keep our shows and services running smoothly, and we appreciate everything you do.   Our offices will reopen on Monday, July 6, and we'll be ready to jump back in refreshed and energized.   Wishing everyone a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable Fourth of July week.   #ClarionEventsNA #PeopleFirst #EmployeeWellbeing #WorkCulture #LifeAtClarion
