After a trade show, there are several things you can do to maximize the value of your participation and follow up with potential customers and partners:
1. Follow up with leads: Reach out to the leads you collected during the show and continue the conversation. This could be via email, phone call, or social media. Be sure to personalize your outreach and reference any specific conversations or areas of interest you discussed during the event.
2. Qualify leads: Not all leads are created equal, so it’s important to qualify them to determine which ones are most likely to convert into customers. Consider factors such as budget, timeline, and decision-making authority to prioritize your follow-up efforts.
3. Send thank-you notes: Show appreciation to those who stopped by your booth or engaged with your brand during the show. A simple thank-you note can go a long way in building a positive relationship.
4. Analyze your results: Take some time to review your trade show performance and analyze your results. How many leads did you generate? What was the quality of those leads? Did you achieve your goals for the event? Use this information to inform your future trade show strategy.
5. Plan next steps: Based on your analysis, plan your next steps. This could involve further nurturing of leads, scheduling demos or meetings, or exploring partnership opportunities.
6. Stay engaged: Don’t let your relationship with potential customers and partners fizzle out after the trade show. Stay engaged by continuing to share relevant content and offering value through your products and services.
Overall, following up after a trade show requires thoughtful planning and execution. By taking the time to follow up with leads, qualify them, analyze your results, and plan next steps, you can maximize the value of your trade show participation!

Kao što smo i najavili, grupa Hosted Buyera selektiranih od strane MEETEX 2022 izlagača nakon održanih sastanaka dolazi u Hrvatsku u tjednu 15-22.05. na seriju studijskih putovanja. U suradnji s HTZ-om i sustavom Turističkih zajednica organizirati će se tri putovanja – u Dubrovnik, u srednju Dalmaciju i u Istru i Kvarner.

Zajedničko okupljanje svih Hosted Buyera na Get-Together-Networking eventu desiti će se u Zagrebu, na – kao što je za MEETEX uobičajeno – malo drugačiji način nego što je to uobičajeno. Umjesto standardne “gala” večere ili okupljanja u nekom konferencijskom prostoru, družiti ćemo se na mjestu koje će se, sigurni smo, svidjeti svima – u prelijepoj prirodi, na Sljemenu! 

Na Sljeme – vrh Medvednice, zagrebačke gore – ćemo se popeti novom žičarom, a na Sljemenu družiti u objektu s pogledom na okolicu Zagreba i Zagorje. Dress code je jeans + sneakers 🙂 a program neka ostane iznanađenje.

Okupljanje je na polaznoj stanici žičare u 18:15 (parking na raspolaganju), naša vožnja kreće najkasnije u 18:30, a povratak na polaznu stanicu je predviđen oko 22:30 autobusom. 

Molimo da vaše sudjelovanje potvrdite najkasnije do 12.05. e-mailom direktno MEETEX Program & Content Manageru, našoj Aleksandri Uhernik na aleks@meetex.eu.

Dobro nam došli, veselimo se druženju!

Vaš MEETEX Team

In March and May 2022, MEETEX – Croatian Meeting Experience Summit was held for the fourth time in a row – in a hybrid format. This is the only B2B event of meetings-incentives-events travel professionals in Croatia. While over a 1000 online business meetings took place from 15-17 March, live events are scheduled for May 2022.

Despite the circumstances, this event got together more than 150 participants – Croatian exhibitors from meetings-incentives-events sector, international hosted buyers, keynote speakers, educators, and notable guests. This year’s edition included new niches: boutique & luxury hotels as well as destination weddings – the products highly demanded by upscale international market. During 3 days in March, they participated in 1-to-1 online business meetings, lectures, networking events – with one goal: to present Croatia as an ideal meetings, events, luxury travel and unforgettable weddings European destination.

The speakers included Prof Dr Rob Davidson of MICE Knowledge, Dr Riina Iiloranta of Visit Finland as a Luxury Travel expert, Prof Dr Oliver Kesar of Faculty of Economy in Zagreb, Iva Kraljević Licardo, Croatian Wedding industry president, Ines Nanić of Dubrovnik Event, Ivana Kolar of Tourism 365 conference, Vanja Melnik, Destination wedding photographer, and some other interesting guests – some even related to Michelin stars gastronomy.

Unlike any other similar European event, MEETEX is the only one promoting just Croatia as a meeting and event destination.

The MEETEX live part is scheduled for May where the exhibitors will nominate the best buyers to welcome them in their destinations on three fam trips: in Dubrovnik area, Dalmatia, Istria and Kvarner – all of them gathering in Zagreb, the capital.

The event maintains to cooperate with educational institutions enabling the students a glimpse in the industry and partnering with similar events like Tourism 365.

In addition to its primal goal – business networking – MEETEX continues with educations, knowledge transfers and updates, presenting Croatia as an ultimate meetings and events destination.

As from 2022 MEETEX will expand its portfolio of suppliers/exhibitors with a few extremely popular and demanded industry segments – luxury boutique hotels and destination weddings, niches that gain more and more popularity in Croatia and offer the experience the clients will never forget. We will of course adapt the buyers’ profiles to match the new MEETEX niches.
