Neither Earthquake Nor Hurricane Can Stay Baltimore Summer Antiques Show
:"We want complete control of our productions and we have developed ways to do just that, even in the face of an earthquake and a hurricane," Scott Diament, president and CEO of the Palm Beach Show Group, said a few days after the Baltimore Summer Antiques Show. "Our contract with the Baltimore Convention Center let us move in on Monday, August 22, at 6 am, when a crew of 150 started constructing the walls for our 542 exhibitors. The dealers set up on Tuesday and Wednesday, the four-day show kicked off at noon on Thursday, August 25, and the walls were down and packed into trucks by Monday night," Scott said. The Baltimore Show is now the largest hard-wall show in America.
The Palm Beach Show Group was formed in 2001, and the next few years were the planning stage when every detail for producing a show was put in order. In 2004, the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art & Antique Show was launched, and "we knew four hours into that show that we had a real working company," Scott said. The group, 12 full-time employees, now produces four shows, the largest in Baltimore.
The firm owns everything it takes to put on the shows, from walls to all the lighting tracks and the thousands of bulbs, which are tested before each show, and from the rugs to the garbage cans. All this is stored, when not in use, in a 25,000-square-foot building in Florida, where the inventory is inspected and maintained. Even the white rugs, a signature of the Palm Beach Show Group productions, are cleaned there. "We buy new carpet each year for the Palm Beach Show and then use it for at least one more show. Very often it cannot be cleaned properly and used again, so it is chucked," Scott said. For the Baltimore Show, it took seven tractor trailer trucks, 54 feet long, to bring the supplies from Florida.
The dealers were setting up their booths when the earthquake hit on Tuesday and a complete evacuation of the convention center was ordered. Some of the jewelry dealers were reluctant to leave, as their inventory was out and being prepared for display, and took an extra minute or two to pack things back into the safe. But in the end, everyone left the building and were outside for about two hours. There was no damage to the building and, in fact, it is one of the certified hurricane-resistant structures in the city.
