Online registration for this event.



Go to every trade show in your industry as often as you possibly can. Identify the most relevant presentations, befriend the presenters (typically senior people) and engage them in conversation. Stay in contact with them as well as the people who organize the trade shows. Show organizers always need new "junior people" to fill the speaking slots, especially with referrals from the senior people...why not you?

In this program you will practice and learn:

  • How to select the best trade shows
  • How to leverage industry publications
  • How to build your articles into multiple publications

Who should attend?

Managers and professionals across all industries and functional areas.
