Industry Call to Action: Participate in Value of Face-to-Face Interaction Study Fielding Next Week IAEE Share    
CEIR's most recent research is pointing to the strength of the exhibition industry. CEIR Index numbers uncover a heartening rebound on all measures and two CEIR studies affirm the value marketers place on this medium and for which sales and marketing objectives it is highly valued. These reports provide an overview of the health of the industry and how marketers use exhibitions relative to overall company goals. Now CEIR plans to get more granular. In a study slated to go out in the field next week, CEIR will take a close look at the face-to-face element of business-to-business exhibitions, how attendees and exhibitors prefer to interact in-person, the core aspect of any exhibition. The Value of Face-to-Face Interaction Study was last conducted in 2002. This time, 25 of the top 250 trade shows in the United States, as defined by tsnn.com's 2010 list are participating in this initiative by letting CEIR poll its attendees and exhibitors. Please watch your email for an email invitation from CEIR or one the 25 top 250 trade shows participating in the study. Participation is key to CEIR's ability to provide representative results across industry sectors and types of organizations.

Finnish tech brand Nokia brought its state-of-the-art research and development laboratory to the South by Southwest Interactive, Film and Music Festival (SXSW) in the form of the Nokia Lab. From the outside, the three-domed, otherworldly space evoked the brand's Scandinavian roots, partly thanks to the very aggressive exterior bubble cannons that created a downpour of bubbles resembling snow over the long lines of eager SXSW attendees trying to get inside.
