Conferences

How Effective Will Your Next Conference be?

The Conference Challenge

Conferences provide a rare opportunity for members of an organization to get together, exchange ideas, make decisions and determine a strategic plan. Conferences also offer a unique opportunity for upper management to communicate its strategic thinking and to show its appreciation to the employees.

Guest speakers, demo presentations, slide shows are examples of the many activities taking place to accomplish the above goals. They can also saturate attendees with an overload of information. To that effect, cocktails, hospitality suites reception and dinners are held for attendees to relax, establish new connections and have informal discussions. The conference planner knows that the right kind of entertainment can help break the ice, put attendees in a positive state of mind and enable a positive rapport between them. Entertainment, if used well, can also be used to reinforce the key conference messages.

How Effective is your Trade Show Messaging ?

The Trade Show Challenge

The success of a trade show depends largely on the number of qualified buyers that decide to invest their limited time to visit your booth. Thus, your company needs a unique and compelling means of communicating the value of your product.

Defining a unique branding message, producing the right marketing collateral, and developing a demo are examples of the many tools that can be used to communicate the value of a product. However, unless you find a way to stop people from just walking by your booth so they can learn more about your product, all of your investments may be fruitless.

The Magic Solution
