Dear MOD '09 Attendee,   Thank you for joining us in Las Vegas for the 2009 MOD Awards ceremony and CloseUp, the Afterparty. We hope you enjoyed the reception and had a great time in the company of over 200 industry professionals.  To retrieve best MOD'09 moments, please visit www.mod-09.com   where you can find  the 2009 MOD awards winners, pictures, video files , voting results, etc.   Once again, kudos to MOD'09 sponsors who helped to bring MOD to the next level of success.   Special thanks to Octanorm and Event Design Magazine for co-producing the event and giving it generous publicity. We appreciate tremendous support from Exhibit City News and Tradeshow Week for covering MOD'09 and providing prime advertising space.   The elegant  look and feel of the ballroom decor, complimented by everyone, became possible due to fabulous fabrics and floor chandeliers by Dazian Rentals, professional lighting by Exhibit Lighting Group, beautiful carpets by K&S International, stunning ice bar by Patron Spirits, and high-end designer furniture by Lounge22 for Solar lounge and the stage.   Kudos to Padgett Communications for instant audience response system which brought in a lot of excitement; kudos to Encore Nationwide for staffing and V3 Corporation for printing high-quality Solar brochures.   Exceptional support and contribution have also come from BGB Trussworks, NuVista, ExhibitForce, and Rock-It Cargo and we would like to thank them for that.   It was a great pleasure to see you all at MOD'09 and we look forward to seeing you also next year at MOD'10!   Robbie  Blumenfeld Abex Exhibit Systems President   Garry  Koralek Abex Exhibit Systems Executive VP
