Our attendees love the face-to-face networking that our in-person conference provides, but they also want to interact more with our exhibitors. Research shows that exhibit organizers should prioritize creating engaging experiences for their guests because they expect more
value from their event experiences than ever before.
Interactive exhibit booths that incorporate technology into their displays have the highest return on investment by increasing visibility, generating leads, enhancing brand reputation, and establishing strategic partnerships.
PWDA also builds attendee engagement with exhibitors using the WHOVA app, customized/selective engagement incentivized with door prize giveaways and more!
