We no longer hold monthly webinars. Instead, we’ve transition to weekly vlog/podcasts. Once week, TradeshowGuy Tim Patterson sits down with a business leader, consultant or expert – mostly in the events and tradeshow field, but not necessarily – to discuss their area of expertise. Check out the latest vlogs/podcast on the blog here, or subscribe to the audio version of the podcast here.

May 1, 2017: John Halvorson of Transgroup Global Logistics interview

Got a chance to chat with John Halvorson of Transgroup Global Logistics this week for the vlog/podcast.

On this week’s TradeshowGuy Monday Morning Podcast, I go over the various things that you will encounter while trying to learn a new skill. I also look at a number of ways to keep people engaged in your booth. Remember, the key to tradeshow success is drawing a crowd (giving them something to see or do) and then knowing what to do once that crowd arrives.

Long days on your feet. Snacking on tasty samples from one side of Anaheim Convention Center to the other. Setting up tradeshow exhibits. Tens of thousands of industry people checking out products, thousands of exhibitors vying for attention in crowded halls.
“There’s nothing quite like it!” I’m sure you’d say the same thing about CES, Burning Man and SXSW. Big shows, chaos and overloaded senses.
The morning after I returned from Anaheim (delayed flight got me home just after midnight, thankyouverymuch!), so I’m a little weary, but figured that I’d give the TradeshowGuy Monday Morning Coffee Vlog a shot anyway. Enjoy:
ONE GOOD THING: Natural Products Expo West.

February 6, 2017:
On this morning’s TradeshowGuy Monday Morning Coffee – the Bob Marley Birthday Show – we discuss lead generation as it pertains to TradeshowGuy Exhibits (and maybe your company!), and communication as it relates to managing projects. Of course, we end up discussing more.
And for some inexplicable reason, I managed to forget the ONE GOOD THING that I was hoping to include. And that is the digital version of the New York Times, of which I’m a subscriber. But more pointedly, I’d like to mention the daily mini-crossword puzzle, which takes a minute or two and is a good little kick-starter first thing in the morning.
