Bear Analytics has also involved a team of event-data analysts to work alongside IAEE to interpret data as it surfaces and advise IAEE’s event-marketing team in real-time – ensuring interpretation leads to activation and measurable ROI.

“Our team is leveraging valuable insights from our Bear Analytics partnership on a weekly basis,” said Scott Craighead, IAEE vice president of Exhibitions and Events. 

He continued, “It’s enabling us to have a deeper understanding of our customer base and be able to adopt a more agile marketing approach – leading to higher conversions.”
