In person events like tradeshows and conferences usually rank high on the list of priorities for B2B marketing organizations. A good way to do that is to build relationships through content before the show even begins. I also like to use any possible conference hashtags in a headline in advance of a show. Talk to Us!
Whether your brand is making a splash at a tradeshow or an executive is speaking at a conference, professional events combine direct customer contact with press opportunities. And the biggest of these events – like the Cannes Advertising Festival, the Consumer Electronics Show, or the E3 Expo, attract equally high-profile media.
That’s how PR and marketing executives describe trying to conduct media relations at what is arguably the world’s largest and most important tradeshow – CES ®. The airport, airlines, hotels and rideshare companies – they are all short-staffed. Exhausting. Career-making or breaking. To learn more about CES 2025, visit CES.tech.
Exhibiting at your first tradeshow can feel a lot like the first day of high school. It’s easy to get overwhelmed, especially if you’re a small company at a big show. It’s important to register as early as possible for a tradeshow. The money you save here can then be directed into other show expenses.
Nor do I remember much about the show (strapline: ‘The Foundations to your Facilities’, I’d imagine) apart from having a discussion with a guy selling paper towels, who was keen to tell me how much more hygienic they were than hot air hand-dryers which were only good for spreading germs …. The post Has the tradeshow had its day (at last)?
To tradeshows. All those hours in airports, crappy restaurants and hotel bars starts to add up after a while. Consultants tend to travel a lot for work. To agency sites. To media tours. You name it. We’re on the road a fair amount. And, you tend to work an average of 18-hour days when you’re on the road.
And this show – which still lays claim to the title of the largest and most important business-to-business tradeshow on Earth – appears ready to resume this role after its COVID-induced hiatus. Every business these days is short-staffed – from the airlines to the hotels to the taxi companies. Looking at the numbers.
You can sign up to be notified when registration for the show opens here , and it’s never too early to think about booking your flights and hotel accommodations, because you’ll be among some 150,000 attendees expected to travel to the show.
So what do you need to do NOW to make sure the world’s largest business-to-business tradeshow is a PR success for your company? Look back at CES 2020: With CES 2021 being an all-virtual show, you’ll have to look back to recall how things went at CES 2020 when it was last an in-person event. 5-8, 2022, with Media Days Jan.
And this show – which contends as the largest business-to-business tradeshow on Earth – seems to ready to resume its role after a COVID-induced hiatus as an in-person show, though it will continue to offer a virtual component for those unable or unwilling to travel.
Choose a fun, new hotel you’ve had your eye on and book a night or two for a working staycation. Do some networking outside your usual travels of card exchanges and tradeshows. We all need inspiration in and outside of our work lives.
