CattleCon Post Show Reports

Are you looking for information about a past CattleCon? Well, then you are in the right place. The post show is a report that highlights various pieces of information from past CattleCons like attendance numbers at events, highlights from sponsors and attendees, events that took place, and more.

Standout Exhibits Reports

Many elements contribute to the overall effectiveness of an exhibit program. Executing an effective exhibit is critical to ensuring your exhibit delivers value and results for your company, and attendees get value from their time in the exhibit hall.  As a value-added exhibitor service, NCBA provided random exhibiting companies with a complimentary E3 Exhibiting Effectiveness Evaluation. We prepared this photographic report to acknowledge exhibitors who displayed imaginative, creative, effective and/or unusual ideas, and serve as a show specific educational resource. 

Best of Show Booth Contest Reports

To acknowledge and recognize exhibitors demonstrating excellence in exhibit design and execution, NCBA conducts a Best of Show Exhibitor Booth contest for all exhibitors during open exhibit hours. Several highly experienced exhibiting experts walk the entire show floor and select winners in three categories: Best Inline, Booth Best Small Island Booth (up to 900 sq. ft.), Best Large Island Booth (over 900 sq. ft.). The judges look at each booth in terms of how effectively it grabs attention, communicates a clear value proposition, has an interactive attendee experience, and has proactive and positive exhibit staff behaviors.

How to Improve Your Exhibiting Productivity & ROI by Applying the Exhibit Marketing Process™

Exhibiting at a trade show is a significant investment of human and financial capital. And for many companies, too often the cost of exhibiting ends up being more than the tangible and measurable benefits and value they receive.  But it does not have to be this way! The art and science of exhibiting has exploded over the last few decades. However, most exhibit managers have never been taught a structured process to help them make sure their investment supports their company’s core business objectives and delivers measurable financial value beyond cost. Unfortunately, they end up spending 95% of their pre-show time managing logistics and operations - which only ensures they show up. NCBA wants to make sure all exhibiting companies are positioned to gain significant value and generate a return on investment from their participation in the annual meeting and exposition.
