Here’s more video of Connect Marketplace 2024!! We already can’t wait for Miami in 2025 ??? Baird Center Connect #StetsonExpo #ConnectMP #EventProf #Teamwork #ConnectMeetings

I just attended an event with 3,000 event planners. 12 ideas and trends: I was at Connect Marketplace. This event mixes the legacy Connect audience with the Bizbash crowd, now under the Informa umbrella. I met many Informa employees, and I can tell the event is stepping up its game. IMEX ?and IBTM should watch out. Here is what I loved: The Regception This is the first time I have seen a registration area become a party. Food, drinks, local suppliers from a sponsor. I want that at every event I attend. High Business This event is about connection (the name says it); they have an exciting twist on the hosted buyer model. The buyer has a table, and the suppliers switch to visit them. Meetings last 9 minutes for blocks of a few hours, and on average, there are 30/35 meetings connected via the app. Light Content When the meetings ended, the content started to give every attendee a chance not to miss out. This also helped to pack the sessions. I had one of the best audiences I’ve ever presented to. Microevents If you read my content in the newsletter (link on top of my profile), you know how excited I am about microevents. CMPs had a dedicated breakfast with bingo and networking. First-timers had their orientation session, which included games and facilitated networking. This session was overflowing (cater for first-timers!). Wellness to connect Events are not gyms. But wellness is critical to connecting attendees. The 5K, the pickleball courts, and the booths with wellness lounges created a sense of camaraderie, tough to get when only your brain is involved. Keep an eye on Connect.? Everybody I talked to was happy about the value they got out of the event. It is a must-attend/must-exhibit if you are in the industry. I hope you enjoy the video below with 12 ideas to steal. These videos require an incredible effort, and I hope you can support us in doing more by sharing it with your network.

The art of visual storytelling! Connect does an outstanding job of capturing the experience of walking through the show floor!!! #ConnectMeetings #StetsonExpo #VisitMilwaukee #Teamwork #EventProf #BairdCenter #ConnectMP

All in the morning before the show floor opened. If you're at the show, stop by. I'd love to see you at #221. Classic Exhibits Inc. | Exhibits ~ Rentals ~ Environments
