About Adam Gordon

I’ve built my career around creating meaningful connections and helping organizations bring their events, meetings, and experiences to life. Whether I’m partnering with associations and trade show organizers, collaborating with global brands, or supporting major hotel and resort properties, I’ve always believed that success comes down to relationships, follow‑through, and genuinely caring about the clients you serve.I started my career on the hotel sales side, growing from a coordinator at The Mirage to handling major corporate and association accounts at some of the most iconic properties in Las Vegas. From board meetings to large‑scale tradeshows, to opening a new resort to representing the greatest destination in the world, each step taught me how to understand client needs, communicate clearly, and deliver consistently.My path eventually led me beyond hospitality into the broader world of live events, sports, and experiences. At the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, I represented the world’s top trade show destination and helped bring major conventions to the city. At Aramark Sports + Entertainment, I drove growth across stadiums, arenas, cultural attractions, and convention centers. Today, as Director of Business Development for GES, I partner with associations and event organizers to create exhibitions and experiences that truly make an impact.Across every role, a few things have stayed constant:• I build trust quickly and genuinely.• I work hard, communicate openly, and stay solutions oriented.• I bring a positive attitude and a collaborative mindset.• And I love representing brands and destinations I believe in.I’m energized by big ideas, strong partnerships, and opportunities to help teams and clients succeed.
