Now that you have your pitch drafted, practice that a few times until it’s smooth. Then read through our exhibiting tips below to help you stand out at AACR 2023.
How can you stand out at AACR?
Success at AACR 2023 depends on you and your exhibit team’s ability to draw in a crowd. This doesn’t always happen at your booth. AACR 2023 offers attendees and exhibitors alike access to exciting shows, like the Exhibitor Spotlight Theater Presentations. Attending presentations of products and services like yours (even if your brand or company isn’t featured) puts you in the audience with potential leads. Strike up a conversation with them to find out what they like and don’t like about the product or services being presented—and find a way to tell them about your company.
AACR 2023 is also running a draw for one of five Amazon gift cards. Attendees are encouraged to visit participating exhibitors and other locations throughout the week. If your company hasn’t signed up to be one of those participating exhibitors, speak with your AACR 2023 Annual Meeting contact to see if you can sign up.
Of course, once you’ve pulled visitors to your booth, you’ll need to make sure it’s set up for success. Having the right booth size can help. Here are two booth sizes available and their specific advantages:
10 x 10 Exhibit Rentals
10 x 10 Exhibit Rentals are ideal for exhibitors who want to highlight or promote a single product or service. You have room for product display cases, 3D graphic wall, custom light display and flooring, and one seating configuration.
10 x 20 Exhibit Rentals
10 x 20 Exhibit Rentals are a good solution for those showing multiple products and services. You have 20 feet of graphic back wall, multiple seating configurations for demonstrations and lighting education, in addition to custom light and flooring that come standard with our exhibit rentals.
If you want to really ensure your booth has a presence at AACR 2023, Exhibit Experience can help. Our dynamic LED walls with video reels, private projection rooms for closing, overhead projections, new underlit flooring, and much more will catch the eye of those buyers and draw them into your booth.
