The study, "An Analysis of Changes in the Key Factors Affecting Exhibit Recall in the Last Decade," was made possible by a grant from the Exhibition Industry Foundation (EIF). CEIR contracted with Exhibit Surveys to analyze these changes and produce this report. Executive Vice President of Exhibit Surveys Ian Sequeira, will review the overall findings and attendees will hear from additional industry experts on those key factors and how to apply the information.

Randy Bauler, CEM, corporate relations and exhibits director for the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, will share how AACN has been able to help their exhibitors be successful by providing in-booth education. Marc Goldberg, CEM, owner of Marketech, Inc., will present on the importance of selecting the best staff to be in the exhibit booth, and Richard Norby, vice president, creative service and senior creative director, Live Marketing, will touch on the marketing aspect of having interactivity in the booth.

It is important to note that without funding from the EIF, this type of industry research would not be possible. Please consider contributing to the EIF. To learn more, visit the foundation's website at www.exhibitionfoundation.org.
