ethnoMetrics^SM
This is our unique video surveillance system that uses small cameras mounted around your exhibit booth to monitor attendee traffic patterns, trade show booth behavior and interactions. Our expert analysis team extracts powerful insights including what’s working and potential areas for improvement. We can help you identify “hot” and “cold” areas and minimize “dead” space to improve traffic flow, maximize daily trade show performance and enhance the overall exhibit experience of your guests. 

Attendee Lead Qualification
For most exhibits, qualified leads are your most important measure of success. We offer a variety of options to collect leads but also distribute and track them. Our services include trade show support for all types of registration devices, online offerings that connect your brand with prospects online, and attendee reporting modules that can document and package lead data—and distribute it to the right parties.

Trade Show Attendee Surveys
We can help you connect with your attendees using on-site surveys, audience response technology, interactive experience tracking and more. There’s no need to wait until a show ends to ask your attendees about their experience—we can assess their opinions while they’re still fresh.
