LAS VEGAS, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- GES is pleased to announce an industry-wide Flex Talent Pool program offering flexible, temporary work opportunities for experienced exhibition professionals. In anticipation of exhibitions returning in 2021, the new Flex Talent Pool will be first introduced in the United States, covering key locations where shows are expected to occur.
