What's In Store:
GovMark Guide to Tradeshow ROI
2008 Edition

 

Thanks to you, not only were we able to complete the 2007 edition of the GovMark Guide to Tradeshow ROI in February, but at our last event, we presented the USO with a donation for each completed survey.

 
From your suggestions we are revising the survey.  Moving forward, we will be conducting the Tradeshow ROI survey the summer after tradeshow season -- for distribution in the fall -- and adding new topics and elements.  We hope these changes will not only provide you with more information, but also more relevance when planning your upcoming tradeshow schedule.  
 
In addition to our traditional tradeshow study from the perspective of IT industry executives, we will test-run a similar study from the customer's point of view.
 
If you have any other feedback, please post to The GovMark Council Forum.
 
Interested in a copy of this year's study?
