The Expo Group SMOTY Awards are presented annually by The Expo Group, a tradeshow services provider, to show managers who make a difference in the industry, in their own organization and in the lives of exhibitors by creating and implementing great new ideas, focusing on problem solving and attending to the even the smallest details to ensure a successful show. Dominguez won the coveted designation in the Tier 4 category for shows with 701-1,500 booths. Dominguez received a trophy and a $1,000 check payable to the charity of his choice - The San Francisco AIDS Foundation, which was founded in 1982 in response to the health emergency created by the AIDS epidemic. For over twenty years, the Foundation has been a pioneering force in AIDS public awareness, prevention, and education efforts and a national advocate for critically needed funding and compassionate public health policy.
