Making Your Small Booth Mighty (Panel Discussion)
Hear from EXHIBITORLIVE Small Booth Exhibitors and CTSM Grads as they discuss what to do to stand out with less than 200 feet of space. Are 10x10 booths and smaller your main exhibit size? Learn how these exhibitors add powerful impact to their small booths. Leave with recommendations on how to positively impress your audiences. Understand:
 •  How a booth that fits in the trunk of your car can reach the same audience as a 20x20 booth
 •  How pre-show prep can pay off and help you get noticed amongst the large booths
 •  How floor plan location and booth layout can strengthen your presence
 •  What specific element our panel recommends every small booth should have
 •  Review your results by using measurement techniques to determine if you are still right sized or need additional budget for a bigger booth next year
