How to Measure Event Performance

Events, trade shows, corporate showcases, and user events have grown dramatically in the last five years. And yet, the need to measure event performance beyond the ego boost of having the event is often evasive. The C-suite wants to measure the ROI for events that are into the mid-to-high six figures and beyond. In the episode, Valdiar CEO Victor Kippes discusses how to measure event performance and the technology needed to make it easy.

Was that Show Worth It? How to Measure Revenue for Trade Show Investments

We know that trade shows are a must-have marketing campaign, but each has the cost of the show and the people (people are often 2X the cost of the show).  The good news is that trade show leads take fewer touches to close, but shows are often not measured by their revenue contribution.  In our interview with Victor Kippes, founder and CEO of Validar, he explains how to measure the revenue contribution and how to avoid cutting shows from the schedule because no one can answer, “Was that show worth it?”  The host is Jim Obermayer

Why doesn't Exhibits Management care more about sales leads?

Host Jim Obermayer interviews Victor Kippes, CEO of Validar on the tough subject of the attitude of trade show managers about sales leads.  Do they really care?  Is their job just to show up and throw up (the exhibit of course) and then not care about the reason for the show?
