One of the biggest tragedies of the pandemic was the demise of live events. While their return should be welcomed, we can’t ignore that we spent over a year in lockdowns, missing out on the opportunity to shake hands, exchange business cards and connect with old (and new) friends. As a result, both new and seasoned event planners and marketers are dusting off event plans, adjusting budgets and revisiting ways to drive booth traffic, generate leads, and have a great show.
Whether you’re planning your first event ever – or simply the first in a while, Joanne Gore Communications, is here to help software, hardware, print and manufacturing companies prepare and conquer their next show – with tips, checklists, lead gen strategies and more.
So sit back, get comfortable, and get ready – the show floor opens in 5, 4, 3, 2, GO!
