TradeshowGuy Monday Morning Coffee, September 14, 2020: Jason Graham-Nye

One of the first clients I managed to snare in my early days in the tradeshow world came when I cold-called a Portland-based company called gDiapers. It took awhile, maybe a few months, but we ended up designing and fabricating two tradeshow exhibits for them. At one point five or six years ago, they decided to stop exhibiting at tradeshows and focus on other marketing efforts.

I wanted to catch up with gDiapers CEO Jason Graham-Nye to see what he and the company have been up to lately. I know Jason moved his family back home to Australia five years ago from Portland, which meant changes for the company as well.

Little did I know what kind of adventures he and his team got up do, especially once the coronavirus hit. I hope you enjoy the conversation – I sure did:

Check out gDiapers.

This week’s ONE GOOD THING: The return of the NFL.

Customer Profile: Jason Graham-Nye of gDiapers

g-logo

Interpretive Exhibits designed and fabricated a shelving back wall with signage (photo below) for gDiapers a year or two ago, and since then have gotten to know several of the great folks in the company.

Just last week gDiapers had a grand opening of their new location on MLK Jr Blvd in Portland. One reason we love working with gDiapers is because they expend a lot of effort doing good things in the world: they have a family-like atmosphere at their office where kids come to daycare; strong pro-environmental policies are a way of life, and its obvious that a lot of love and passion is floating through the building.
