However good your sales are now, you'll walk away with ready-to-use tactics that will close sales faster, get you a bigger share of the budget, and boost renewals.
  2. Make valuable career connections with exhibit and sponsorship sales peers and experts.
  3. Dive into the art and science of exhibit and sponsorship sales when Dan Cole, Senior Director, Exposition Sales, AVIXA, reveals the dynamics of eliciting information and earning the sale. This is information you will use on your very next sales call.

  4. Recent data shows that the gap between exhibitor expectations and satisfaction levels are widening.

How can you translate the data into better sales outcomes? mdg President and Chief Marketing Strategist Kimberly Hardcastle-Geddes helps you navigate the changing nature of exhibitor and sponsor sales.
  5. The information exchange is fast and furious when every team member gets a chance to share top takeaways that will enhance their sales practices and decision-making.
