By Chris Dolnack, SVP & Chief Customer Officer, NSSF – The Firearm Industry Trade Association

The NSSF’s Chris Dolnack helps exhibitors cut costs at the upcoming SHOT Show. Who doesn’t like saving money? Read on to learn how to maximize your ROI as an exhibitor.

According to recently updated trade show industry data, exhibit space represents approximately 22%-25% of an exhibitor’s total trade show spend. Exhibit space pricing is generally fixed and priced by the square foot of space. Of course, NSSF members receive a discount on their exhibit space, not to exceed their dues, but that’s a topic for another day.

That means that 75%-78% of an exhibitor’s total trade show spend is controllable to a degree. Here are eight ways that SHOT Show exhibitors can reduce their costs for the 2024 show.

Although efforts have been made in recent years to advance equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Queer, and other gender and sexual marginalized identities, there are still many instances where LGBTQ+ people find themselves excluded, unwelcome, and uncomfortable in the workplace. In fact, according to the Human Rights Campaign, close to 50% of LGBTQ+ employees still report hiding their sexual orientation at work due to hostility, bias, discrimination, and mistreatment in the workplace.

Are these costs a reason not to exhibit? 

Exhibitors face these questions and many more when deciding whether to participate in an international exhibition.  Many factors are out of the exhibitors’ control and should be top of mind for show organizers.

The IAEE Ambassador Program invites current members to share the value of IAEE with other potential members. While the “Toolkit” provides resources to help you share the benefits of membership with your peers, your own experience with our association and telling others why you continue to be a member, is the best testimony you can provide.

If you are interested in being an Ambassador, download the resources on this page and use them as a guide when talking to prospective members.

Goals for Ambassadors

• Share information about IAEE with prospective members
• Answer questions from prospective members you meet
• Connect those interested in learning about membership with IAEE staff
• Be available to speak with prospective members (referred by staff) who want a peer perspective on membership

Take the guesswork out of understanding your market position. 

B2B exhibition organizers, do you understand how your event is performing compared to your competitive peer set? Performance is an integral metric in strategic planning and it reveals your event’s strengths and weaknesses. It helps direct strategic planning to where it counts, where improvements are needed and where to build on an event’s success.

The Event Analyzer Tool looks at your event’s performance for critical metrics:

• Number of attendees
• Number of exhibitors
• NSF of paid space
• Organizer revenues

The beauty of this tool is that it visualizes your event’s performance in 13 charts (see sample of charts below), to prior editions of your event and the corresponding CEIR Sector Index aka your competitive peer set.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital and hybrid events are here to stay. But digital events come with their own set of challenges and pain points for event organizers and exhibitors. RSDE serves as a guide allowing Digital Event Platforms (DEPs) to:

• Help organizers accurately and efficiently report event metrics via standardized terms and data
• Provide exhibitors with the data they need to create success through digital events
• Facilitate productive collaboration and empower all parties to make smart decisions within the digital events environment by setting a reporting standard that is understandable for all stakeholders
• Provide comparability across events

Learning Objectives:

• Gain the tools to bring more trust and transparency into the digital event marketplace
• Get confidence in and a full understanding of a digital event’s audience through RSDE
• Gain assurance of how digital vendors are handling the data and, importantly, who owns it

As this issue of TSE lands in your mailbox, we are putting the finishing touches on Expo! Expo! IAEE’s Annual Meeting & Exhibition to be held in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. In writing this column I realize that I do not have to look too far to see what this year has delivered to our industry, as so much of that is ingrained into Expo! Expo!. And while Expo! Expo! offers a plethora of education that delves into the subject, a few key items stand out in my mind as I reflect upon 2022.

My most satisfying aspect to this year has been watching our industry strengthen as it reclaims its influence in the business macrocosm. Exhibitions are making their comeback worldwide, and my conversations with many of you reflect increased optimism and renewed verve for how we conduct our face-to-face marketplace.

Learn how managing up creates a more effective relationship with your boss.

Managing up as a way to get what you want is a great trick. I got my first glimpse of this technique when a former boss once spoke about management by attraction. This is the process by which you create such a great work culture that it simply draws people in organically versus having to work hard at promoting it. Managing up as a way to get what you want is actually a microcosm of this concept.

What you are doing is managing the person in a way that draws them to you without realizing that you are actually using this process to help manage them and their behavior. Don’t worry. Managing up is not an evil skill. A lot of times, we end up with bosses or supervisors who really have no clue what they are doing, and because they are your boss, you can’t really tell them that.

Be sure to register and attend the Opening General Session and see NCAA soccer standout, U.S. Women’s soccer team member, 3-time Olympic medalist, professional soccer player, wife and mom, Lauren Holiday.

Despite her success on the field, it has not always been easy off the field. At the early age of three, Holiday had open-heart surgery to correct a heart defect. In September of 2016, shortly after her individual and team dominance on the national and international scale, Holiday was diagnosed with a brain tumor during her pregnancy with her husband and NBA All-Star and Milwaukee Bucks’ player Jrue Holiday. With the support of her family, Lauren has made a full recovery and has been fully healthy for many years. Jrue and Lauren have since grown their family, with the latest addition of their son in 2020.

Lauren will share her story, speak to the importance of purpose and resilience. Additionally, attendees will celebrate the CEM Class of 2022 who will cross the stage and be recognized with the industries mark of distinction.

CEIR Research Council Member Jennifer Hoff shares how she and Taffy Event Strategies use CEIR research to maximize their goals and objectives.

Jennifer Hoff has spent her career producing trade shows and conferences since 1990. She launched a full-service event management company in 2014, Taffy Event Strategies. Prior to that, she worked with VP International and NTP to manage and launch new events in a variety of market segments. During her trade show industry career, she has received several industry awards and accolades.

Jennifer has chaired the IAEE Washington, D.C. Chapter and MATSO in addition to holding various IAEE national positions including on the IAEE Board of Directors and Education Committee. She has instructed the Introduction to Exposition Management course at NOVA Community College. Jennifer currently serves on IAEE’s CEM Faculty and the CEIR Research Council.  

Jennifer has a degree from Virginia Tech in Production and Operations Management. Here, she shares how she and Taffy Event Strategies apply CEIR research to help meet their business objectives.

CEIR: Do you collect data at/from your shows and, if so, how extensive is your process? What do you hope to gain from it and/or how do you use the data?

Jennifer: We collect pretty extensive post-show data around the value of the event to the attendee and exhibitor, how much business is done, how much time is spent on the show floor and key KPIs such as NPS. We use the data to fine tune the event YOY. It helps us focus on what we need to.

Is Your Event Accessible to Everyone? A Guide to Event Design that Fully Includes Participants with Disabilities 

ADA guidelines provide a good foundation for creating accessible events, but they only scratch the surface. Participants may need accommodations for a wide variety of physical or cognitive disabilities, or sensory challenges and supports – some of which may not be immediately visible to observers.  

We will discuss the accommodations that should be part of every event team’s toolkit, from the most common to some that you may not have encountered firsthand yet. Learn how to think with an accessibility mindset and develop a habit of identifying and resolving potential barriers to access throughout the event planning process.
