CADdetails had an amazing time exhibiting at the 2021 ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture, held at the Music City Center in Nashville from November 19th to 21st. While the event was smaller than usual, with fewer exhibitors and attendees, it was still a tremendous success! In this article, we’re sharing our top tips for achieving a successful tradeshow experience in the post-pandemic construction industry.
From the start, it was evident that everyone attending was thrilled to be back at an in-person event. The enthusiasm, energy, and sense of community were palpable, and it made the experience all the more special. With daily screenings, a mandatory mask policy, temperature checks, and negative testing protocols in place, it was clear that health and safety were top priorities. These measures ensured that all participants felt secure and comfortable throughout the weekend.
Our team was happy to be representing CADdetails at our booth throughout the whole event. It was wonderful to reconnect with plenty of familiar faces, just as much as it was to get to know so many new ones as well!
It’s well-known that contests attract traffic to your booth, and word spreads quickly—bringing in more attendees! To make an impact, we hosted an Apple Watch giveaway, which was a big hit. The challenge was simple: attendees had to find as many CADdetails signs scattered throughout the show floor. This fun activity helped us stand out and ensured our presence at the event was both noticeable and memorable!
In addition to the contest, our CADdetails signs were displayed in our clients’ booths, making it easy for our team to network, and build a strong supportive presence within the ASLA conference. We're already looking forward to next year!
Trade shows allow building product manufacturers like you to forge strong, long-lasting connections with AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) professionals.
