John Lamb
Vice President, Decor and Design // Display Group“Planning and staging an event is like live TV,” says John Lamb. “You have one shot at pulling off a great one.” It’s this kind of attitude, along with 18 years of experience, that has helped Lamb and his business partner Rick Portwood develop the Display Group into an industry leader in creative services for special events, exhibitions and tradeshows. “Often, even if my company is happy with the way things are set up, (Lamb) isn’t,” notes Carol Galle, president and CEO of Special D Events. “He will add just ‘a few more things’ to make sure the end result is superb.”
“We’re a candy store for adults,” quips Lamb about the contents of the company’s 200,000-square-foot warehouse. “Visual overload guaranteed.”
A familiar face within Michigan’s meeting and event industry, Lamb frequently donates time, products and services to professional organizations and non-profit events, and currently serves as president of the Detroit chapter of the International Special Events Society.
“There have been many times I’ve asked John to come up with a creative plan and pricing on short notice,” says Galle. “He never fails to get back with me immediately to acknowledge the request and then meets whatever crazy deadline I give him.”
