Our Company
JBM & Associates is a Greenville, SC-based consumer show management and production company founded in 2001 by Jacqueline McGuinness Bomar, a seasoned marketing professional who has directed more than 70 major events, nationally and internationally

We currently produce five annual events in the Southeast-- the Charleston Boat Show, the Savannah Boat & Outdoor Show, the Columbia and Upstate Women’s Shows, and the Spice of Life Food & Fitness Fest. Each of our shows is tailored to a specific target audience and attracts hundred of exhibitors and thousands of attendees.
Our goal is to create a dynamic, informative and profitable experience for all of our participants, in an interactive environment that allows businesses to communicate directly with prospective customers. We do this by combining top-quality exhibits with dedicated stages featuring lively entertainment, seminars, workshops and demonstrations to engage the audience and extend their time at the show. We also employ creative, multimedia marketing strategies that reach out to diverse consumer groups and generate excitement about each show.
