  • IAEE Launches Social Media Task Force
    By Stephanie Corbin - 03/22/2010
    Do you think Facebook is a book with people’s faces pasted in? To you, is Twitter just a bird call? If so, don’t worry. Help is on the way. The Intl. Assn. of Exhibitions and Events wants to help people with those misconceptions and others who just want to apply the tools better. More

  • Leading the Way With Leads
    By Stephanie Corbin - 03/22/2010
    Exhibitors who don’t follow up on leads after a tradeshow have been the bane of tradeshow managers almost forever. Everyone’s heard the commonly repeated factoid that 80 percent of tradeshow leads are not pursued. Lead retrieval companies are trying all kinds of things to encourage exhibiting firms to change their ways. More

  • Smart City Wires Pittsburgh for G-20
    By Rachel Wimberly - 07/06/2009
    On most days, events coming in and out of the SMG-managed David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh range from the Pittsburgh Auto Show to the Society for the Study of Reproduction Annual Meeting to even a dog show. But, come Sept. 24-25, the center will be hosting a much more high-profile event – the G-20 (Group of Twenty) Global Economic Summit. More
  • Lead Retrieval: Going to Great Lengths
    By Joalien Johnson - 05/04/2009
    Historically, the conventional wisdom in the tradeshow business has been that, while exhibiting companies talk a good game when it comes to ROI, few follow up on leads they get from the showfloor the way they should. So, one might wonder, in the midst of a serious economic downturn, with heightened pressure to make sales, if exhibitors finally have gotten the message. More

    Troy, Mich.-based Nimlok Grand Rapids, a provider of custom, modular tradeshow exhibits, has bucked the trend of holding onto its money and scooped up Exhibits Now, another local company. The new company will operate under the name Nimlok Metro, as a subsidiary of Nimlok Grand Rapids. More
  • Alliance Tech Purchases nTAG
    04/06/2009
    Austin, Texas-based Alliance Tech, a company that provides RFID-enabled event measurement, recently bought Boston-based nTAG, which has a focus on face-to-face social networking technology and created the first interactive name badge. The sale was a fortuitous one for both companies: nTAG was in bankruptcy, and Alliance Tech was looking to branch into the type of technology nTAG offered. More
  • Web Sites: Seamless and Successful
    By Rachel Wimberly - 03/30/2009
    One way tradeshow companies could make an investment in technology to get ahead of the pack now, instead of waiting for the economy to take a turn for the better, would be to take a good, hard look at their shows’ Web sites and ask themselves, “Do they all seamlessly, successfully serve attendees and exhibitors, as well as the company itself?” More
