The trade show floor has become far more interactive with backlit graphics, gamification, augmented reality, virtual reality, and video walls. There’s much more emphasis on making both the booth design and the person-to-person engagement experiential.
Trade shows are all about making a good impression, so what exhibitors wear matters. However, “What to Wear” is often the last checkbox on their trade show checklist. But it shouldn’t be. More than anything, trade show attire should be a conscious decision, one that mirrors your trade show strategy.
Like me, you probably attend two, three, or 30 trade shows every year. Trade shows are mesmerizing, not only for the creativity but also for the visual and auditory over stimulation. The larger the show, the more the sensory overload. It can be exhausting, but for most of us, it’s exhilarating for those two or three days.
Trade show exhibitors and Game of Throne characters have a lot in common. See which character you resemble as an exhibitor in this entertaining blog post.
Several weeks ago, Cynthia Geddis, a Project Manager in our Customer Service Department, took a seven-day Alaskan cruise from Seattle on the Princess Line with her husband. For those who have never been on an Alaskan cruise, we thought you might enjoy seeing photos.
Yes, it’s a bit like you would would expect — eagles, glaciers, fiords, icebergs, totem poles, etc — but her photos take the expected and make them unexpected. Excellent shots of Mendenhall Glacier, Ketchikan, Skagway, shy whales, and some freaky big crabs. Our thanks to Cynthia for sharing these with us.
