The world is divided into two parts: 1) companies that deal with products and companies that provide services. 2) While trade shows have been created for selling products, there has been nothing equivalent for service-oriented companies except for conferences. 3) Consider this: 1000 companies can place their products on the shelves of 1000 booths. However, only 30-50 speakers can present their services at conferences to an audience of 1000 participants. 4) This means that companies with products have solved the problem of showcasing what they produce to buyers, but service-oriented companies have not solved the problem of displaying their services. 5) This is why we have created a new format, The Leads Arena, which incorporates our event tech technologies for matchmaking and networking, along with a new format that doesn’t exist with major players like Messe, Informa, Clarion, and RX Global. 6) We are open to potential partnerships and are particularly interested in finding an investor who wants to enter the congress and exhibition market.

Still riding the high from last week's Event Tech Live! I'd like to share some insights for those in event production asking about the value of attending such an event. As someone deeply embedded in the industry, I firmly believe in supporting key industry events, whether IMEX, International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE), Meeting Professionals International, ASAE: The Center for Association Leadership, PCMA, or anything I might have missed. Advocating for your own event means recognizing the value in others—especially those who support our industries. While many events offer networking opportunities with event technology providers, none compare to Event Tech Live if you want to dive deep. It’s the place to see various technologies under one roof, assess them firsthand, and gain invaluable insights. You'll still get value from engaging with event tech at those events and do it as they exhibit to see you. However, at ETL, you can engage with different industries to see how they are using other solutions and hear from Event Tech leaders about how they are trying to make an impact to foster growth for event technology and development for your events. I highly recommend attending Event Tech Live in the UK later this year, but if you are in the US, you need to make it a must to catch the US edition in '25. It's an investment that pays dividends in knowledge and connections. Also, if you'd like a game plan to optimize the event opportunities, please hit me up... I'm happy to share the template!

Today is Global Exhibitions Day! 🎉 Why do exhibitions and business events matter? ✅ Exhibitions drive progress: trade shows and other business events provide platforms to discuss, create and showcase solutions to universal challenges. ✅ Exhibitions facilitate economic growth: trade shows and other business events are engines of economic growth, connecting industries and driving job creation. The business events industry employs 2.6 million Americans and drives $399 BILLION in direct spending annually (source: Center for Exhibition Industry Research, Events Industry Council, and Exhibition & Conferences Alliance) ✅ Exhibitions are a sustainable way to do business: industries gather in one place over the course of several days, allowing us to manage the environmental impact. ✅ Exhibitions connect people: trade shows and other business events are community builders, bringing people together face-to-face to connect, collaborate and contribute. I love being part of the events and exhibitions industry and am always pumped to see what new innovations are around the corner to drive us forward. #GED2024 #TradeShows #EventsMeanBusiness #NPE
