Episode 202: Here’s How to Make the Most Out of the PPAI Expo | Ellen Tucker, PPAI
The PPAI Expo is back and I, like many of you, am excited about the return of this amazing event!
Our guest today is Ellen Tucker, Director of Business Development and Expositions with PPAI (The Promotional Products Association International). Ellen joins us for a brief chat to talk about what to expect from Expo this year, we discuss the health and safety protocols, what PPAI is doing to ensure a safe show, and we talk about the most important part: how you can make the most out of Expo.
If you’re like me, you attend Expo and it’s a blitzkrieg of meetings and faces and dinners and thousands upon thousands of products and images and happenings … there is so much going on in that week, that Ellen and I talk about how to be proactive about making the most of the show, how both suppliers and distributors can prepare for this colossal event.
I’ve always maintained that no two PPAI expos are the same, meaning, it might be the same event but you have changed, you come to Expo with different needs than perhaps in the past. And this year, the Expo itself has changed, we talk about new surprises that week, including the just-announced Promopalooza: The Expo Party held at Allegiant Stadium.
The PPAI Expo is held January 10-13 at Mandalay Bay Convention Center you can register and learn more about it here.
