The power of connection and community
Events are powerful tools for positioning your brand and finding new prospects. As an exhibitor or sponsor, you gain increased visibility and a relevant platform to promote products, services, and capabilities, meet face-to-face with clients and future customers, and establish your presence and leadership in the industry. In fact, the majority (87%*) of B2B marketers say in-person events are a critical component to their company’s success.
