Joe Brunoli, CPM Program Manager for Online Expos, explained. “Our goal is to create a permanent digital marketplace serving industry professionals in targeted business sectors,” he said. “Like Kallman, our mission is to bring buyers and sellers together for the express purpose of doing business."
The shift to the SHOWCASE is the 'next step' in boosting Kallman Worldwide's USA Partnership Pavilion program, which has been assisting U.S. exporters participate in international trade exhibitions for 60 years.
“When my dad started this business, we used black and white printed USA Pavilion Guides to promote our exhibitors,” explains Tom Kallman, CEO, Kallman Worldwide. “We quickly moved on to glossy color publications, then online interactive brochures, and finally to a virtual “Visitor Zone”, he adds.
“With the SHOWCASE, we can now offer our exhibitors the chance not just to promote their products and services digitally to a global audience, but to do so all year long on a persistent, ongoing basis. The SHOWCASE offers our exhibitors the opportunity to present and promote themselves and their message digitally in advance of upcoming events,” Kallman explains. “They can also extend the lifecycle of that message for weeks post-show to connect with the global audience whom they may not have been able to meet in person.”
Exhibitors and trade visitors can e-message each other, chat in real time, organize online meetings, connect directly via WhatsApp, and even have ad hoc video conversations right from the exhibitor's digital exhibit or the platform's Networking section at each SHOWCASE site. There is no need to use an extra client program or browser add-on because all conversations and meetings are conducted via the platform's secure technology.
“Kallman Worldwide knows that international trade is a year-round conversation punctuated by global trade events,” Kallman adds. “The SHOWCASE platform, in conjunction with our USA Partnership Pavilions, allows our exhibitors to advance their brand strategy both physically and digitally, and in a way not offered by any other pavilion organizer in the world.”
