I was at a presentation today that was about communicating with your audience. Within the presentation was a discussion of how to reach the Y Gen’ers in the workforce. Thinking in threes (I like that, you know), the speaker emphasized that communication to this audience should: 1. Summarize2. Be concise3. Be written for scanning These […]

This show is aimed at the aircraft maintenance audience. Held annually each March, this show has reduced in size in recent years because of, I’m told, a split between associations. The largest players at this show, by exhibit size, are Chevron, Phillips-Conoco, Simple Green, AV Fuel, Dallas Airmotive, PPC, Corridor, Deutz, FMC and TLD. A

This was a great time spent. Spent with colleagues, friends and acquaintances talking and learning about an industry and work we believe in, love and respect. It gave me the opportunity to reconnect. Thanks, Joel, Steve, Skip, Jeff and others for taking the time to converse. Renewing friendships and connections are incredibly important in this

Remember what I said a few posts back about a “professorial” presenter being the only one? I was mistaken. Ed Jones was by far the most academic guy I’d encountered at this event.

Crafting a clear and concise position for your company so that trade shows are effective. That was the key to this session. But I’m not sure it flowed as easily as it should have. There was a bit of disconnect in the flow from setting up the positioning statement to extracting the messages for use

The process of conceiving, designing and producing a trade show exhibit can be complicated and daunting. Jim Anderson, founder and principal in Steelhead Productions in Washington State, outlined the process he has used for years in this class. Jim was the most professorial presenter I had seen (though I am sure there are others) at

Technology is transforming trade shows and events…..okay, now I’ve stated the obvious. However, I didn’t realize in how many ways until I listened to Corbin Ball’s presentation. His reverse Top 10 format was a good way to get to the point. But, I tell ya, I felt like I was under an avalanche of information.

You wouldn’t think a revolutionary marketing idea would come from our government, especially the armed services. However, when a marketing mind meets the structure and process of the US Army, interesting things happen. Colonel Casey Wardynski had a problem. He had to improve his recruiting results.
