Traditional approaches where salespeople sit in a segregated (albeit virtual) exhibit hall waiting for customers to wander by will not work. Successful companies and organizations will engage meeting attendees where they are, which includes educational programming, networking opportunities, and social events. The partner listing in the digital meeting hub should be used to give attendees access to key information directly and provide a means for further engagement, either through a virtual meeting room hosted by industry partners or a custom microsite that can be used to track engagement and facilitate remarketing.

Engagement packages are designed to be right-sized and all-inclusive for any industry partner’s needs. However, we anticipate that some individual companies will have unique needs that require custom solutions. ASCLS is pleased to work with partners to develop customized solutions that meet the partner’s business goals for their investment and participation.
