San Juan Capistrano-based Emerald Expositions Events Inc. (NYSE: EEX) bought G3 Communications in New Jersey for an undisclosed sum.
The deal folds G3, which runs business-to-business events, into Emerald’s portfolio of more than 55 trade shows and conferences.
G3 is seen as bolstering Emerald’s “mission of being a year-round partner to our customers,” President and CEO Sally Shankland said in a statement.
Separately, Emerald on Tuesday reported quarterly results that beat expectations; shares rose about 5% following the report, to a $760 million market cap.
