CONVENTION MARKETING and What Is It?

Convention Marketing gets brands noticed, and attendees engaged around convention centers.

It helps companies generate attention at crowded trade shows or conferences.

It can take on many forms ranging from mobile billboards to guerilla marketing activations.

Most often it involves street team activations, human billboard teams, food trucks, and other forms to surprise-and-delight for convention attendees.

The best convention marketing strategy depends upon the brand, message, and location.

Advertising outside of convention centers based in city centers are particularly useful due to attendees walking from hotels to the show.

Convention centers ideal for outdoor activations are:

1.) Moscone Center in San Francisco

2.) McCormick Place and Merchandise Mart in Chicago

3.) Javits Center in New York City

4.) San Diego Convention Center

5.) Washington DC Convention Center

6.) Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio

7.) Philadelphia Convention Center

Engaging attendees at conventions held outside city centers (such as Orange Country Convention Center in Orlando) is a bit challenging, however creative forms of mobile and bike billboards can be effective way for brands to deliver their message.

Utilize convention marketing to:

1.) Standout in a crowded environment

2.) Engage attendees before then center the convention center

3.) Generate show buzz and booth traffic

4.) Create valuable content for social media during the show
