At Connect, we know that more than ever, real connection and community defines who we are. From planners to suppliers, we make coming together an art form.
What Connect does goes beyond producing conferences and trade shows. It’s about connecting people involved in travel, destination management, hospitality and events—listening and learning what they need to accomplish their goals—and building content, education, resources and relationships around it.
Connect is about valuing our clients and their customers—knowing their names, interests, business and values.

HOW IT WORKS• Connect will capture (w/pixel) everyone who
enters the convention center during the event.
• The pixeled will receive ads during the event as long as they are within close proximity of the center (encompassing hotels and restaurants in the area). Each ad will take attendees directly to your website.
• After the show, Connect will cross-device target pixeled individuals as they leave and head home.
• You can expect gauranteed qualified traffic. The campaign runs until your ad receives 1,000 clicks.
BENEFITS• Brand awareness during
and after the event.
• Highly targeted campaign to conference attendees.
• Device agnostic approach (allows messaging to appear on multiple devices).
With Connects’ Event Targeting program, we help you target the right people at the right place at the right time by putting your message and brand in front of conference attendees of major industry events.
