Exhibit Surveys, VERIS Receive EEIAC Certification

Dallas, 26 January 2006 ­– The Exhibition and Event Industry Audit Commission (EEIAC) announces that Exhibit Surveys, Inc. in Red Bank, N.J. and VERIS Consulting, LLC in Reston, Va. have been approved for the industry-wide attendance certification program conducted by EEIAC.

According to EEIAC procedures, firms that apply for certification must provide documentation as to their competence to perform independent audits; must agree in advance to conform to EEIAC published standards for the conduct of trade show or consumer event audits, and must provide copies of actual completed audits. Recertification is required each calendar year. Once a provider has been certified, exhibitions and events are eligible to display the “EEIAC Certified” service mark.

“We proudly welcome Exhibit Surveys, Inc. and VERIS Consulting, LLC to this innovative program,” comments EEIAC Chairman of the Board David Korse. “These companies are committed to raising the quality and credibility of our industry and they are at the forefront of what we hope to see as standard practices for all companies who participate in exhibitions and events.”
