2In an effort to learn more about the conferencing
behaviours of Fortune 1000 executives, Goodman
Lantern conducted a survey. We featured 191
top-level panelists. Certainly, our main aim was
to discover why these executives choose to attend
certain business events. Also, how they research
upcoming conferences and what motivates them to
participate as exhibitors or sponsors rather than
attending in an observational capacity.
3Determining the Worth of Attending Conferences
- An overwhelming 62.6 of respondents choose to
attend conferences based on the quality of
marketing and communication received before the
event. The second-most popular method, ranking at
41.3, of decision-making in this regard is
learning about these events from colleagues.
4Reasons for Attending an Event
- One of our main motivators in conducting this
survey was to discover why Fortune 1000
executives attend certain conferences. To
clarify, most of our panelists, around 68.9,
claimed that these events presented a wealth of
networking opportunities. Thats clearly a
driving force behind making their decisions. The
runner-up reason for attending events was to meet
experts and speakers face-to-face, a motivating
factor for nearly 31 of our panelists. At least
21.1 of the executives interviewed stated that
they saw event attendance as a way to invest in
themselves and their professional endeavours.
5Motivation for Sponsoring or Exhibiting at an
Event
- Firstly, according to 51.3 of our participants,
industry reports and knowledge produced at the
event form the bulk of their motivation for
exhibiting at or sponsoring an event. The
next-highest motivator, 39.9, for our panelists
was the quality of attendees. Additionally, 22.6
of our survey participants stated that a speaking
slot was motivation enough for attending a
conference. - Produce industry reports and knowledge for your
