Combining trade show marketing with digital tools isn’t new. In the 2018 Marketing Spend Decision report by CEIR, 68% of marketers said they paired exhibiting with one or more digital marketing channels. That same report also showed attendees are looking for digital engagement. But the challenge is that most of those on either side of the aisle have never participated in a virtual trade show before.

Tips include:
- Connecting with attendees pre-, during and post-event (both you and your exhibitors/sponsors) to create a robust conversation
- Having essential behind-the-scenes support to guide both attendees and exhibitors/sponsors through the experience
- Educating exhibitors/sponsors on how to engage and interact with a virtual audience
