POP Event Marketing Research
UBM Technology Group’s 2nd Annual POP Event Marketing Research was
developed to help marketers gain critical insight into the habits and
preferences of technology decision makers before, during and after an
industry event.
Pre-Event
• Why tech professionals attend industry events
• What they do to prepare prior to an event, and how event marketers can
get ahead of the game
Onsite
• Why attendees stop and visit you
• Types of content and speakers they want to see and hear about
Post-Event
• Things to avoid as a tech marketer: reasons why tech professionals would
or would not engage with you
• Types of follow-up attendees want from you
This survey of 403 business technology professionals provides tech
marketers with comprehensive data and insight to enhance and improve their
event marketing strategies.
METHODOLOGY
• In the late fall of 2015, UBM
conducted an online survey
of business and technology
professionals to understand
their actions and preferences
around industry events.
• Final data is based on a total
of 403 qualified IT and
business respondents in
North America.
• The margin of error for the
total respondent base
(N=403) is +/- 4.8 percentage
points.
• UBM was responsible for all
programming and data
analysis. These procedures
were carried out in strict
accordance with standard
market research practices.

• Marketers need to seize every opportunity to start a relationship, generate goodwill
and earn the trust of prospective buyers
• Event marketing is not just about logistics
• An integrated marketing mix that is critical to the success of your overall strategy –
to generate maximum ROI, you need a mix of paid promotions to get the biggest
bang for your buck
• Significant spend: B2B marketers allocate between 15–20% of their overall budgets
to events

Pre-Event Onsite Post-Event
Expose Your Brand Profile
• Be “present” consistently
• Review your media strategy to ensure
that your brand and products are
getting exposure across all platforms
• Content connects – no matter the
platform, relevant content is your
brand’s biggest attraction
• Audit your content – make sure you
have ample, up-to-date content that
addresses different information needs
• Syndicate your content
• Remember: 82% of tech professionals
are more likely to visit the booth of an
exhibitor they’ve heard/read/engaged
with beforehand
Focus on Your Customers’ Needs
• Sales pitches always fail; do less
talking and more listening
• Have knowledgeable subject matter
experts at your booth
• Ensure you have the right content at
your booth: customer testimonials,
business case builders, etc.
• Attendees want to see your solution at
work; have demos to share and make
your discussion as hands-on as
possible
• Attendees want to hear from you!
Consider hosting a smaller breakout
session in addition to your booth at an
industry event
Keep Conversations Alive
• Again: content is your biggest
attraction; keep attendees interested
and engaged with relevant, targeted
content
• Attendees go to industry events to find
solutions: almost half want exhibitors
to send them a post-event email with
additional research or information –
continue to educate prospects until
they are ready to buy
• Nurture relationships with localized in
person or web-based events with
attendees that stopped by your booth

Call to Action
Continue the conversation at
the booth. These kinds of
pre-event assets are ideal for
email marketing and the
early phases of a lead
nurture program. They help
highlight subject matter
expertise, add personality to
the conversation, and offer
up an opportunity to meet
face-to-face in the booth.

This kind of content can be used to
