Part 2 of 2 on “Virtual Tradeshows 101” – watch video here

Session hosted by Joshua Jones – he worked for Zoom for several years and developed their corporate education platforms.

This session covers:

  • Using the SwapCard platform used for the Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum
  • Content marketing assets, deliverables
  • One page per brand – crisp logo, content, resources
  • All hands on deck – all of these other resources are here at the same time
  • Looking to the future – the event is a content generation trigger
  • Virtual and online network may not be the same as that in person – people don’t just click in out of curiosity, they are there for more purpose – intentional
  • Less traffic, higher value connection
