In Honor of Mike Sampson
Donation protected
Mike Sampson, a true visionary and legend in the world of fashion tradeshows died suddenly of a heart attack - gone too soon at the early age of 56. His service to our industry spanned decades notably at Business Journals, ENK, UBM, and Liberty Fairs.
In order to help his family - wife and two sons - through this tough time, a fundraiser has been started where donations are accepted. If Mike has ever done anything for you, please consider giving what you can here. Big or small, it’s the thought and gesture that counts. Donations $100+ will receive a special leather and silver bracelet commissioned in honor of Mike.
Mike was an exuberant deal maker - who loved connecting people and making things happen. He always tried to do the right thing. He built lasting friendships with everyone that he touched. Whenever you needed support, you could always count on Mike
“I GOT YOU,” he’d say and genuinely do whatever he could to help.
Well-liked, well-respected, and loved by many. The rock of this industry and truly one-of-a-kind. A self-professed “bull in a china shop.” He will never be forgotten and will always be with us.
Rest in peace Mike.
