Why Should You Exhibit? d
The NACUBO annual meeting attracts 2,500 attendees, making it the largest gathering of business officers in the United States. If you want to do business on a college campus, your product or service should be in front of the decision makers at higher education institutions.
In this age where social media and online technology is prominent, the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR)shows that nothing compares to face-to-face interaction. Their studies have shown that exhibiting at conferences and meeting with attendees is one of the most effective ways to acquire new clients. Current research also reveals that:
Your best prospects, as well as your current clients, will be there - can you afford to miss this important opportunity?
Face-to-face meetings build trust and relationships.
Education and training are more effective in a live setting.
Live meetings save time and money and facilitate problem-solving through a more effective exchange of ideas.
Face-to-face meetings provide the human connection that powers business and relationships.
Approximately 8 in 10 attendees rate face-to-face interaction with current vendors, 77%, and potential vendors, 81%, as very or extremely important in performing their jobs.
More than 165 companies will display their products and services in more than 225 booths at the NACUBO 2018 Annual Meeting in Long Beach.
