5 ways to inspire event attendees to take sustainable action
By Barbara Palmer Ben Goedegebuure, Chief Global Strategy Officer at Maritz, and Maria Düthorn, Event Manager at Siemens AG, spoke on the Convene podcast at Convening EMEA 2023. Last week, I read an article saying that 2024 will likely be the hottest year on record, and Las Vegas suffered a record-breaking heat wave earlier this summer, with temperatures never dropping below 94 degrees Fahrenheit for three consecutive nights. And a new study reports that if we don’t change course, our generation could witness the end of the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia, the largest coral reef on Earth. The news left me deeply saddened and uncertain whether the large-scale, cooperative changes needed to prevent the worst impacts of climate change will actually happen. I’m not the only one who has this reaction, according to research by psychologist and economist Per Espen Stoknes, co-director of the Center for Sustainability and Energy at the Norwegian Business School in Oslo.…

222 – Pro Tip 10 – Don’t prejudge attendees – All about
Trade Show Pro Tip #10 – Don’t Prejudge Attendees One of the main things I see exhibitors do that holds them back from reaching their potential but goes unnoticed is that they prejudge attendees who walk by their booth. What I’m saying is, observe the people who approach your booth and decide whether to engage with them based on their age, what they’re wearing, gender, and even what company they’re from. You have to understand that you don’t know this person, and you don’t know their role in the company unless you ask them. The key to getting people into your booth is engagement! Let me tell you a story. A few years ago I was at a trade show with a company that sold high-priced equipment to fire departments. Several people in my booth were regional sales representatives. An attendee wearing a Baltimore Fire Department T-shirt started to approach and glanced at our booth as he walked by. I…
