Held most Wednesdays at 1 p.m. Eastern Time, this lively online chat tackles a single topic each week: a recurring pain point, innovative ideas, evolution of the industry, best practices and what works or doesn’t work. 

Past topics have included getting the most out of you trade showfloor; negotiation skills for event professionals; integrating influencer marketing into event strategies; engaging in sustainable event management; maximizing operational logistics and many more! View all of our past #Expochats HERE.

#Expochat is alternately moderated by four industry thought leaders: Stephanie Selesnick of International Trade Information, Inc.; Terence Donnelly from Experient; Michelle Bruno of Bruno Group Signature Services and Michael Doane with CadmiumCD. Guest moderators are also welcome!

“#Expochat covers the industry’s most pressing topics and brings together the most knowledgeable voices in events, conferences and trade shows,” Doane explained. 

He continued, “Every week, a group of top-notch event professionals get together to tackle the industry’s biggest challenges, share industry best practices and strategize the future of events.

It’s a great way to learn, network and understand the pulse of the industry whether you’re a planner, supplier or something in between.”
