Attendees and exhibitors at the annual NBAA-BACE show may not notice or think about the small army of employees, contractors, and local professionals who bring the event together–and that’s how Margie Morgan and Lowen Baumgarten know they’re doing their jobs well. Morgan works to bring the exhibitor floor together every year and ensure each participant has the resources it needs to get the most out of the show. And Baumgarten is–often literally–the man behind the curtain for experiential moments, like this year’s guest speaker, Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Morgan started out working for NBAA as a college intern. She knew someone in the organization and had always wanted to do events. “It’s a joy of mine, to have the fast-paced, constant problem solving–I love a logic puzzle,” she said. “I just loved watching this event come together from beginning to end. It gave so much back to me because of the connections that start the minute an exhibitor submit an application.”
