Editor's Notes

  1. Became sold on at RSNA…used six years. Every year something different to measure. Great changes to keep up with trends. Very valuable for exhibitors
  2. Notes / Observations: (Med exhibitors on track, Small and Large exhibitors are well below industry average) – HUGE potential These rates important (significant?) because they represent the effectiveness of exhibitor behavior and booth design The effectiveness of these two elements can be significantly improved with focused exhibitor training (e.g. New exhibitor training, booth design training, etc.) Common characteristics: castle building, carpet color contrasts, exhibitor staff not distracted on phones, talking to each other, etc.
  3. Notes: Agilent had high traffic due to proximity with Millennium Park Decrease in traffic mimics the overall trend on exhibit floor (will see this trend with exhibits that are in the middle of the floor) Understaffing would explain the higher interaction rate on Day 4 – fewer attendees (but same number of staff members) to ineteract
  4. What is RFID? RFID = Radio Frequency Identification – How it works: Readers with antennas transmit and receive radio waves. - RFID is used everyday, if you drive on a toll road, an RFID tag is in your toll road sticker
  5. RFID is becoming an integral component of event measurement. RFID provides event managers with the ability to track and analyze attendee interests. RFID tags are embedded in badge. RFID can help exhibitors to further measure revenue opportunities and is quickly becoming the most sought-after method for gaining insight into the behavior of the attendee.
