3 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AND WHY THIS EVENT ATTTRACTS THE PEOPLE YOU NEED TO MEET To Successfully Market to the Event World It s About Event Teams Marketing to other vendors and venues is as important as reaching the end buyer. The recommendation engine is brutal and unforgiving. Internal decision making is also usually by committee. Every segment of the event industry attends this event. It s About Planting Seeds Most event organizers (and most people) don t have a clue of what they really need until they need it. Then, they reach back into their memory banks to draw on past things they have seen to simulate ideas. The #1 reason event pros come to this show is to make new industry contacts. It s About the Social Physics of Talking to Each Other Stimulating conversations is the idea fl ow that impacts what to do, who to hire and where to make it happen. BizBash Live is one of the most important events for YOU to exhibit at this year. You can t be a part of the conversation unless you re HERE. BizBash puts you face to face with decision makers. This was our fi rst BizBash Expo and we generated $5, in revenue directly off the show fl oor. ROBERT SMITH ROBERTSMITHPRESENTS.COM
