2018 Art of the Show Competition Winners: Attendee/Booth Interaction & Email Promotion Campaign

Congratulations to 2018 #ArtoftheShow competition winners for the categories: Attendee/Booth Interaction and Email Promotion Campaign! Read why these winners were recognized for their event marketing skills.

IAEE’s Art of the Show Competition recognizes outstanding marketing activities directly related to successfully organizing and executing an exhibition and/or event. As such, it is the only marketing competition tailored specifically to our industry!

Each year, event organizers submit the work they did to promote their show experience across 14 categories and an independent panel of marketing and graphic design experts select the winners. In today’s IAEE Art of the Show Competition Winners Circle, we highlight the winners of last year’s Attendee/Booth Interaction and Email Promotion Campaign categories.

The Attendee/Booth Interaction category evaluates any entertainment/activity offered at a show booth to engage attendee interaction. Judging criteria includes: creativity and overall appeal of the activity; effectiveness in drawing attendee participation into the activity; and resulting lead generation from booth visits.
