Who’s on show? How to pick the right candidate to represent your company.
With so many shows and conferences coming up in the next six months, who do you send to represent your company?
The event industry diary is chock full of trade shows and conferences in the coming months and all throughout the year you’ll find invite after invite to networking nights, launches and more. So who is best suited to attend and be the face of your company?
Finding the right person, that’s the best person with the right personality, might not always be the first person that springs to mind. It’s a tricky thing as often the impression they make when networking and presenting on your behalf is the face of your company.
We all have witnessed the many different personality types of people who, for whatever reason, were selected to work a trade show exhibit. Some were great while others probably should have stayed at home. Here is a somewhat entertaining look at a few of the more interesting personality types I’m sure we all have observed at one show or another over the years.
