RCMA EMERGE connects faith-based meeting planners and suppliers. And every year, the event moves to a different city requiring the organization to source local general contractors in each host city. Training a new supplier every year became unsustainable as the show grew in size and scope. RCMA needed a consistent partner that could simplify planning, support growth, and deliver a reliable experience anywhere in the United States.
RCMA’s search brought them to Fern. We helped RCMA shift from a city-by-city contractor model to a national partnership, bringing consistency, trust, and operational knowledge to each event. RCMA gained a partner that brings consistency in execution to every event, in every city, every year – in every task including show services, exhibitor support, logistics, floor planning, and onsite execution.
With Fern as its national GSC partner, RCMA EMERGE has continued to rebuild and grow by increasing exhibitor participation and booth sales year over year. The partnership has reduced operational friction, improved continuity between host cities, and given RCMA a trusted team that can travel with the show regardless of destination. Fern’s consistent support helped strengthen the event’s foundation and contributed to a renewed multi-year partnership.

Fern provided RCMA with a consistent national partner with the local knowledge needed to execute successfully in each market. With experience supporting events across the country, Fern brought familiarity with venues, labor, transportation, and destination-specific requirements, helping RCMA plan more efficiently and deliver a consistent experience for exhibitors year after year.
