Custom Exhibition Design, Simplified

Scott Lindsay

President / Owner

I’ve been in the Trade Show industry for 30+ years.  In 2002, Tracy and I launched Lindsay Exhibit Group. If we’ve done one thing right, it’s fostering a tremendous staff of experienced and energetic people, and doing right for our clients.  My passion for learning about our clients businesses and industries has never gone away, and I look forward to every unique project.  I’m a proud alumni of CMU (Fire Up Chips!), life-long Michigan resident, Dad to 2 boys, and supporter of Tigers / Lions / Red Wings / Pistons; win or lose!

Brenden Thomas

Sales Manager

With 20+ years of sales experience, the last 9 of these at Lindsay Exhibit Group,  my mission is to help clients create something they can be truly proud of. I’m always listening to client needs and constantly on the lookout for new applications and products.  Outside of work, I  can be found floating on the pontoon or being my daughters’ (2 girls) biggest fan (softball, basketball, cheer & dance) with my wife Michelle.

Lisa Bennett

Accounting / Office Admin

I’ve been an accounting professional for over 25 years, and have been with Lindsay Exhibit Group almost since its inception. I strive to provide exceptional care to help grow our business and support our clients and staff.   Outside the office, I enjoy weekend trips to the local farmer’s market, and spending time with my family and beloved dog.

Fun Fact:  There isn’t a scary movie ever made that Lisa has not seen!

Melissa Dunn

Show Services Admin

My position here at Lindsay Exhibit Group is to carefully manage the logistics and details of events for our clients.  From figuring out how to ship things across the country and internationally, to ordering and coordinating show services for our clients, it all has to be done timely and correctly for our clients to have a good experience.  I really take pride in making sure that it all comes out smooth, and that’s not always easy to do in the world of events!  Having a staff that cares as much as I do helps, and I appreciate working with these people every day.

Fun Fact:  Melissa is a dog-lover.  She has about a hundred of them. OK, its really only 5; but still…. It’s 5 dogs!

Stacey Sobka

Creative Director

I joined the Lindsay team in August of 2021, bringing my two decades of exhibit-designing experience along with me.  I am passionate about creating a positive experience for each client, as I see all my projects through from beginning to end.  I have worked in all aspects of the trade show industry and love creating a unique experience for each of my clients.

Fun Fact:  When I’m not sitting behind a computer or hanging out with my family – I’m either getting my hands dirty gardening or crafting something nifty.

Joe Sexton

Warehouse / Services Manager

I’m the guy that is responsible for making sure your exhibit is ready for your show, packing it all up, and managing logistics to get things where they need to be.  I’ve been perfecting this craft with Lindsay Exhibit Group since 2006, and have assisted our clients with thousands of events.  It’s something different every day, and I really enjoy the detail and direct contact with so many of our clients.  I care about getting things right, and appreciate working with like-minded people!  

I’m married, 2 kids, and an avid outdoorsman.  When I get time in between client events, I can often be found racing my dirt bike around a track somewhere in Michigan.  

Fun Fact:  Our staff wishes Joey still raised chickens, cuz sometimes we got free eggs out of the deal….

Kelly Carroll

Exhibit Fabrication Artist

Architectural signage, displays and exhibits has been my canvas for +30 years, with the past 15 here at Lindsay Exhibit Group.  I love the unique challenges of trade shows and events, and have had the pleasure of fabricating cool stuff designed to best highlight our clients products and services.  No 2 projects are alike, so I really get to use my skillset to design / create / fabricate.  

When my workday is done, I’m most likely spending my time wrestling with my grandkids, or tripping to the tip of the thumb area to the family vacation estate (or both!).  

Fun Fact:  Kelly can fly remote-controlled cars, planes and boats like nobody’s business!  Ask him about the time his RC boat was sunk by a fish…

Ismael Cerda Frias

Exhibit Technician

My role here at Lindsay Exhibit Group is to set up and assemble exhibits for our clients.  Whether that is here in our shop, or in a convention hall somewhere in the U.S., I really enjoy the fast pace and unique challenges of each project and venue.  I understand how important these events are to our clients, and I put my passion for excellence into each event to make sure our clients have a great experience.  

Fun Fact:  Our resident foodie , “Is”  will seek out the best and most interesting places for great food during his frequent travels.  If he can’t find it, he’ll make it himself.

Zach Hardin

Exhibit Technician

I set them up, and I take them down; that is the short version.  The reality is that each project entails careful attention to detail, to make sure that every exhibit looks great when it is standing on the show floor.  There are a hundred things that can potentially go wrong, and my job is to think ahead and make sure none of them happen.  When your exhibit is “perfect” at your event, it’s because a lot of care and attention went into the prep.  Myself and my team are here to handle that prep!  

Fun Fact:  Zach fills his summer hitting home runs for his softball team, and playing with his dog.

Kellie Szymanski

Account Manager

With a background of over 20 years in branding, marketing, advertising, and experiential, I joined Lindsay Exhibits ready to make an impact. My mission is to help create show-stopping trade show experiences that drive results. I believe in the power of collaboration, working side-by-side with clients to bring their vision to life. For me, every client is a priority, and my goal is simple: make each show a standout success that attracts attention, builds connections, and provides a return on investment.

Fun Fact: When I’m not at work, you can find me out on the water with my family or playing golf. Or during the cold months, dressed in multiple layers with a cup of tea by the fire.

Amanda Rini

Show Services Admin

As one of the logistics coordinators at Lindsay Exhibit Group, I specialize in ensuring every detail of our client’s experience is meticulously planned and executed. From managing shipments to planning show services, my role is to make sure everything runs smoothly and on time. I take pride in delivering a seamless experience to our clients, and I am fortunate to work with a dedicated team of individuals who shares my commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. Together, we make every show a success.

Fun Fact: I enjoy painting in my free time, which helps me unwind and stay creative. It’s a great way for me to think outside of the box and bring a fresh, artistic perspective to my work!
