Poken Has Been Acquired by GES, a Global, Full-Service Partner for Live Events

Dear Valued Clients,

I am excited to announce that the Poken business has been acquired by GES, and will be joining the N200|GES team. GES is a global, full-service partner for live events offering a comprehensive breadth of services and technologies with unmatched global reach.

The expansion aligns our vision with that of GES – to become the preferred live events partner offering the most comprehensive breadth of services and technology in the world. In the past 4 years the company has invested heavily in “event intelligence”, adding businesses such as N200, Blitz, OnPeak, ON Services and now Poken, to strengthen its capabilities and offer leading-edge digital services to its exhibition and corporate clients.

Together with the N200|GES Visit platform, we now have the ability to support a truly intelligent event – one where event organisers can drive engagement and measure it. The Poken platform perfectly complements GES’ core live event services.

Our team is excited to be part of the GES family. GES has an extremely talented and enthusiastic team, and we are looking forward to working with them to further develop our robust technology suite.
Our team is focused on ensuring there is a smooth transition so that you continue to receive quality service from us. Our team members will continue serving customers from New York, Chicago, London, Sibiu and Lausanne. My new role within GES will be Group Commercial Director, leading our sales and marketing efforts in a similar capacity to my current role at Poken. I look forward to being able to focus on business development, evangelism, and supporting our customers better.

Your satisfaction is important to us, and we want to hear from you. Should you have any questions or are interested in learning more, please contact your main Poken point of contact or visitexperience.ges.com/poken You can also reach out to me directly at stephane@poken.com.

All my best,

Stéphane Doutriaux
Group Commercial Director
