Twitter is the single fastest growing social media outlet on the Internet. From April ‘08 to April ‘09, Twitter has gone from 1.22 million users to 17.1 million users (Time magazine).

Flying Chimp Media was an exhibitor at the 24th Annual Accounting Show for the FICPA. This is a trade show for Certified Public Accountants to get their CPE credit while getting a chance to learn about various products and services that can benefit them. It gets around 1200 attendees every year.

While we have done trade show booth designs before, it was the first time that Flying Chimp has ever been an exhibitor at a trade show.

Our Plan

In keeping with all things Flying Chimp, our booth had to reflect our fun and creativity, while still being professional and easily understood.
