LOOKING TO THE FUTURE [educational]
We have a problem. Electronic conversations are eroding our face-to-face conversational skills. Millennial's spend much of their time looking down at their phones texting, making them feel very uncomfortable with any type of face-to-face interaction. What does this mean for the future of the tradeshow industry? What does that mean for the tradeshow exhibits that have traditionally been spaces where meaningful face-to-face conversation leads to lasting connections? Engaging this audience is going to be harder than ever. Dr. Sachel Josefson proposes in this discussion that more than ever, we need to create tradeshow exhibit experiences that are more like science centers than marketplaces. We must use technology to help tell the story and facilitate meaningful experiences, rather than using technology for the sake of technology. Dr. Josefson explored the tradeshow exhibit phenomenon while completing his Ph.D. research. He will share his findings and have an open discussion about the future of tradeshow exhibits with those attending.
