SUMMARY:Neuroscience of Exhibitions and Events - On Location at Expo! Expo!
DESCRIPTION:Our brain selects or inhibits information based on our motivations and needs. Our social concerns are the primary drivers for how we behave. As event and exhibitions professionals we must create event experiences that drive deeper meaning\, inspire innovation\, accelerate connections and maximize our attendees’ brainpower to supercharge results. It is not about creating high energy events and exhibitions; it is about creating experiences that are meaningful and engage the social brain. This course will help you discover the primary colors of intrinsic motivation\, explore how to optimize the physical space of our events and exhibitions to produce experiences that influence what attendees think\, and how they think so you can drive the results you want from your show. \nAfter completing this course\, the participant should be able to: \n\nExamine why our brains are wired to socially connect\nDiscover ways to leverage social connectivity in your exhibitions and events\nIdentify five key factors that drive motivations\, behaviors\, and decision-making\nAnalyze meeting room design and exhibition floor layouts to deploy best practices\nCreate brain friendly environments that drive results\nDeconstruct event industry best practices and CEM standards through a neuroscience lens\n\nThis course will provide the learner who achieves competency with a dual digital badge from both IAEE and Madison College. \nThere will be an optional 30-minute study period followed by an hour for the exam. Those that are recertifying\, not taking the exam\, or taking the course as not part of the CEM program will end their day at 3:00pm Central Time. \nLocation: Expo! Expo! – George R.

SUMMARY:Housing and Registration Management - On Location at Expo! Expo!
DESCRIPTION:Today’s exhibition professional has more to do than simply manage an exhibition. In reality\, an exhibition professional is responsible for several crucial service-related elements. Two of the service fundamentals inherent in most events are arranging for accommodations for guests (“housing”) and identifying which guests will be allowed access to which portion of an event (“registration”). Planning must begin early to ensure housing and registration are easily assessed and do not become a hindrance to attending the event. When managed well\, housing and registration can enhance an event and create an incentive for future attendance. \nAfter completing this course\, the participant should be able to: \n\nIdentify key elements of planning and managing registration and housing\nDescribe differences between exhibitors and attendees in housing needs and booking habits\nDescribe differences in registration policies and processes for exhibitors and attendees\nEvaluate housing and registration event management options\nDevelop basic housing and registration planning timelines\nDemonstrate knowledge of financial and contractual commitments\nUnderstand how to manage housing and registration data (e.g.\, GDPR\, data privacy\, data protection\, data security)\n\nThere will be an optional 30-minute study period followed by an hour for the exam. Those that are recertifying\, not taking the exam\, or taking the course as not part of the CEM program will end their day at 3:00pm Central Time. \nLocation: Expo! Expo! – George R.

SUMMARY:Exhibition and Event Sales - On Location at Expo! Expo!
DESCRIPTION:In order to ensure the success of an event or exhibition\, there are vital elements involved in the planning process that should be conducted from the ground up. No matter how successful or well respected an exhibition may be\, it should be presented as if it were a first-time event – it is the marketing and selling equivalent of zero-based budgeting. This involves highlighting an event’s features and benefits\, understanding the phases of the sales cycle and the need to support sales efforts with the appropriate tools and resources\, and preparing the exhibition prospectus in a comprehensive and engaging way. \nAfter completing this course\, the participant should be able to: \n\nIdentify and describe the key steps in the sales cycle\nDescribe the exhibition sales process\nUnderstand partnership and sponsorship sale process\nExplain the importance of relationship selling in the sales process\nIdentify different pricing strategies\nDevelop an international sales strategy\nExplain the importance of providing exhibitors\, partners\, and sponsors with measurable ROI\n\nThere will be an optional 30-minute study period followed by an hour for the exam. Those that are recertifying\, not taking the exam\, or taking the course as not part of the CEM program will end their day at 3:00pm Central Time. \nLocation: Expo! Expo! – George R.
