Attending the BizBash Live Expo was so informative, and provided me with great information. I was able to make great connections and network, and I see myself doing business with some vendors in the future. Thank you for coordinating.” EVENT SPECIALIST UNILEVER

It’s About Event TeamsMarketing 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.

To Successfully Market to the Event World…

It’s About Planting SeedsMost 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 OtherStimulating conversations is the idea � 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.
