Bigger isn't always better.

We've worked with Insight on plenty of exhibits, and this 20x20 at is one of the smallest.

But smaller doesn't mean less strategic.

The goal was to create a space that was easy to see, easy to navigate, and gave the Insight team room to have meaningful conversations with attendees.

Strong branding, clear messaging, demo areas, and comfortable seating all worked together without needing a massive footprint.

Because you don't need the biggest booth at every show. You need the right booth for the show, your audience, and what you're trying to accomplish.

Thanks to the Insight team for trusting us with another one.

A badge scan only matters if someone can do something with it.

For years, event success was often reduced to lead volume: How many people did we scan? How many names came back from the show? But handing sales a bigger list isn’t necessarily helping them.

The better question may be: Did we give them enough context, quality, and reason to follow up?

Erin Lease Hall (Director, Event Strategy and Experience at DrFirst) gets into why the handoff between events and sales matters just as much as what happens on the show floor.

A lot of event teams are asked to prove the value of a show after it happens, but some of the most important work happens much earlier...

Before the booth is built.
Before the doors open.
Before anyone scans a badge.

It’s getting marketing, sales, product, messaging, and the onsite experience pointed in the same direction.

That’s the idea behind the “lightning strike” event Pablo Gonzalez will be unpacking with Matt Kleinrock next week on Event Marketing: Redefined.

Pablo’s approach starts with one question:
What is the one realization you want your audience to leave with?

From there, the challenge is getting everything to support that same idea: the messaging, the booth, the sales team, and the experience itself.

They’ll get into what that actually looks like on October 7.

Not to brag or anything, but this concept to completion is 🔥

But we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t remind you that a great-looking booth is only part of the equation.

The best event spaces are designed around what you want people to do once they step inside.

Stop. Explore. Engage. Talk.

That means:
→ Natural places to enter and start a conversation
→ Spaces that make people want to stay and engage
→ Clear messaging that helps the right people know they’re in the right place

Because a booth designed to attract a crowd isn’t necessarily a booth designed to create meaningful conversations.

Design for the interaction, not just the impression.

A lot of event ROI gets decided before the show floor ever opens.

Not by the booth design. By the meetings booked, customers identified, internal teams aligned, and conversations already in motion.

By the time the doors open, the event should be building on work that’s already underway.

Annalee Addesso (Global Experiential Marketing Manager at Caterpillar) and Erin Lease Hall (Director, Event Strategy and Experience at DrFirst make a strong case here for why “we’ll drive traffic once we’re there” is becoming a pretty risky strategy.

If we were rebuilding an event program from scratch, we'd work backward from the results we actually want and build the program around that.

Because when every decision has a reason behind it, you start spending differently, planning differently, and ultimately exhibiting differently.

That's the approach we'd take.

And they say Event Marketers don't know how to have fun.

🎙️ NOW AVAILABLE: EP 196 | Your Event ROI Is a Sales Problem

A trade show can have the right audience, a strong experience, and plenty of conversations. But if the strategy stops when the show floor closes, a lot of that value disappears with it. That’s where the conversation gets interesting.

Annalee Addesso of Caterpillar and Erin Lease Hall of DrFirst joined Matt Kleinrock to talk about the gap between events and sales, and what it actually takes to close it.

They get into why pre- and post-show work matters just as much as what happens onsite, why more leads are not necessarily better leads, and why event teams need sales involved in the strategy before anyone ever gets on a plane.

Because proving event value is not just an events problem. It depends on what the organization does with the opportunity the event creates.

If your team is being pushed to prove ROI, this conversation is worth a listen.

Stop burning money on events that look good but don't move the business.

Events are a sales and marketing channel, and they need to be treated like one. That means being clear on what you're trying to accomplish and making the strategy, experience, engagement, and follow-up work toward it.

Because exhibiting is expensive.

But exhibiting ineffectively is astronomically more expensive.

A busy booth can still be a leaky booth. Plenty of conversations can happen without the right ones being captured, qualified, or handed off.

Sometimes the missing piece isn’t another salesperson. It’s someone who owns the connection.

In this clip, Casey Smalley (Director of Global Events at Avetta) shares one of those small staffing decisions that can have a much bigger impact than it seems.
