Attention Marketing and Sales Managers!
The North Carolina Public Transportation Association (NCPTA) hosts an annual training conference and business partner expo. It’s a time when vendors and systems collaborate to inform, update, collect new ideas and make the transit world a better place. The event offers possibilities for improving administration and operations, showcasing everything from scheduling software to vehicles of a surprising range of shapes and sizes.
Jumping the Fence from Transit Industry Client to Vendor
As a transit system manager, travel to the conference and expo was a breeze using my very short travel checklist: pack a bag, bring the laptop and go! Now, I’m on the other side of the fence in the world of the transit vendor. The checklist got a whole lot longer with everything to outfit a booth – branded merchandise, printed materials, AV equipment, pop-up banner and so on. Since I have done it only once and had two colleagues helping, I escaped the experience of travelling alone, lugging a ton of stuff for the one show.
With our busy lifestyles, there is support in every imaginable form for personal and professional survival – from AI solutions to doggie day care. For Sales and Marketing execs who lug loads of materials regularly from one city to the next, The Daniels Group offers full scale trade show management. We prepare, package and ship everything needed for success at the show, shortening the travel checklist – just pack personal essentials and go!
