July 26, 2019

Is your trade show amazing but under-appreciated? Is your event doing incredible things that you think the whole industry should know about? Go ahead and brag – TSNN wants to hear why your show is the BEST!  

Simply answer the following questions...

  • What challenge(s) did the show face? What was the “Best of Show” solution(s)? And what were the overall results and impact on the show? 
  • What innovative practices, customer service and/or networking environments occurred to make it the best show ever? For example, what tightened the attendee/exhibitor relationship? 
  • Describe how you created “WOW” experiences! Did you initiate an “out of the box” idea? If so, did it add some excitement to the showfloor that created an unparalleled end-user experience? 
  • Did your event or team celebrate a milestone (you might have some boasting to do!)?
  • Did you improve your show’s “green” factor? 
  • Did your specific industry have a tough year but one that your team adapted to and overcame? How did they accomplish that? 

Don’t be shy – explain the overall creative strategies that would qualify your event for a “Best of Show” award!
