Testimonials

 

 

  • The Exhibit Sales Roundtable (ESR) was an excellent experience. I networked with peers, shared opportunities and challenges, learned tips and tricks that I can implement immediately and as part of a long-term strategy. I recommend ESR for anybody involved in exhibit or sponsorship sales.
    Wendy Loew
    Group Show Director - Questex Media
  • This data validates the importance of a professional sales program because exhibit and sponsorship budgets are under more scrutiny than ever … both at the division and corporate levels.
    Ron Akins
    Senior Vice President, E.J. Krause & Associates
  • I picked-up an idea at the Exhibit Sales Roundtable – selling sponsorship of the venue’s WIFI – that’s added $75,000 per sales cycle to our bottom line. To learn more revenue producing ideas, staff from my department will attend at least one Exhibit Sales Roundtable each year.
    Robert McFarland
    Vice President Sales, Reed Exhibitions
  • At the Exhibit Sales Roundtable, I gained several new solutions that I can immediately implement to increase exhibit sales and upsell sponsors. It was a valuable experience because of the productive networking and open and enthusiastic discussions! I look forward to attending a future ESR!
    Grace Cular Yee
    Director of Sales, Food Processing Suppliers Association/PROCESS EXPO
  • I’ve attended previous Lippman Connects’ events, so I knew the networking and content would be great at the Exhibit Sales Roundtable. I’ve been in sales for a long time, but I’m returning to the office with new ideas that I will put to use.

    Vice President, Sales, Consumer Electronics Association
