If you’re in the hospitality industry and are in the Florida area, you should definitely check out the BizBash Live Expo. BizBash is a resource hub for the event and meeting industry and is responsible for organizing many events and publications throughout the year. Therefore, you will usually see a wide variety of vendors who participate in BizBash events.
This past year’s expo took place at the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center on April 23rd, and there were about 75 different vendors in all areas of the hospitality industry, including those in food/drink and full scale entertainment and productions. We were able to check out a lot of new products and see some of the latest trends in the industry. Here are some things we noted:
1) The speakers went into a variety of different topics about event planning, including appealing to millenials, fundraising tips, social engagement strategies (such as RFID scanners, creating trending hashtags and photo booths) and making use of sponsor value. We noticed that social media was a big trend this year and was the topic of discussion throughout the event.
2) We were also very excited about checking out the SwarmWorks® presentation, but it didn’t live up to our expectations. We hope in the future to see more about how their technology can reinvent audience presentation at events.
3) While we were able to check out some cool new products and take part in some interesting presentations, the thing that we took most from the event was that there is a wide variety of companies that can use our products and services to achieve their marketing initiatives.
Whether businesses are looking to enhance their booth display with an energetic, eye-catching multi-modal element or are looking for a new technology to integrate into their design as a permanent installation, we can offer a product or service that matches their needs.
We saw many opportunities in vendors for short-term AV equipment rentals and production services that could strengthen how they market their products and showcase their brands. It was awesome to learn that our products can be used for a variety of applications as our tech solutions are highly customizable and can serve the industry in many different ways.

With that in mind, we were able to meet up with old faces and strengthen relationships as well as forge relationships with new potential clients. We look forward to the next BizBash Live event, and we encourage anyone who is looking for a highly customizable, cutting-edge AV solution for their tradeshow booth or event to contact us today!
