Main topic: Exhibiting at Tradeshows – The Emotional Hook - with speaker Jakob Dyrbye, Founder of The Trade Show Academy, MESA Member. With the enormous investments made in trade show participation worldwide, it's alarming that so few exhibitors truly know their ROI—some estimates suggest as little as 12%. You might think this calls for a radical change, but what if the key lies in small, strategic wins?
Since 2009, Jakob has helped exhibitors measure, document, and improve their success, starting with the right questions. These insights, along with years of participant feedback, led to the creation of The Trade Show Academy, which focuses on how to exhibit successfully, not just what to do.
Moderated by Sebastien Braun, CEO and Founder of idloom, MESA Patron Member.

MESA is my go-to industry body for me and my own well-being and self-interest. It's different from other associations where I'm with my 'tribe', but usually tends to be purely focused on business.
