5 Reasons to Attend a Live Industry Expo

Industries of all kinds are never short of expos, conferences and online webinars that never cease to amaze audience even if they are not the target ones. Let’s admit: we are accessible to so many exhibition resources that it will be such a shame to not fully exploit them.

Despite the many benefits of technology, there is still no substitute for live, in-person small business conferences and expos. Below are a few of the biggest reasons you should attend small business conferences, trade shows and other live networking events that are relevant for your industry.

More Engaged Learning Opportunity

For most business conferences, the opportunity to learn something new constitutes one of the biggest reasons to attend them. Despite the high quality and excellence of some conferences held online or telephone lines, a live, face-to-face setting offers you educational benefits that you just can’t access remotely.

Offline events enable you to notice and take notes of visual cues, body language and the overall atmosphere, which are not available otherwise. These non-verbal information and the ability to see, feel, and touch things physically can elevate learning to the next level that is not easily accessed via online events.

In-Person Networking

Another benefit of live expos and conferences not easily duplicated is the opportunity for in-person networking. When you attend a live event, you have access to other attendees who are often your colleagues. Conferences are an excellent time to make connections, share information and learn about your peers. You never know when you might want to team up for a joint venture or make a referral to someone you met at a live event.

During live expos and conferences, networking isn’t limited to the participants either. When you attend an event in person, you have access to the presenters to ask questions, share ideas and expand on what was covered. These informal connections that take place between sessions are often invaluable.

Competitor Analysis

If you’re attending an expo or conference because it focuses on information that will help you improve your business, products and services, your competition will be attending for the same exact reasons. Live events give you a chance to see who your competitors are first-hand, find out more about their businesses, gather information on their strengths and weaknesses, and conduct research that will help you give your business the edge.

Targeting Potential Clients

Along with attending an event as a participant, you can also consider attending a small business conference or trade show as an exhibitor. This will allow you to benefit from some of the educational opportunities and in-person networking that takes place, but it also gives you direct access to market your products and services to your ideal customers and clients.

This kind of direct marketing and promotion to your target market, who are already in a learning, networking and development mode, is virtually impossible to get in other ways. And it gives you a chance to conduct market research and learn more about your target market in a live setting.

Sparking Creativity and Innovation

We all need to take a break from routine in order to stay at the top of our game. Sure, you can (and should) take a holiday and time off, but there is also tremendous value in using a small business conference as a break from the day-to-day operations of your business. A change of scenery, especially one that is rich with educational and networking opportunities, can help you spark your creativity, develop new ideas and think in innovative ways.

If you invest the time and money to attend a live event that offers value for your business, you can almost guarantee that you will return home with new tools, valuable contacts and a renewed approach that will help you manage and grow your business better than before.
