The Social Tradeshow is the first practical guide to using these new tools to reach more prospects, close more sales, and earn more profits.

Discover how to: * Create goals, measurable objectives, and strategies * Identify the tools and techniques most likely to work for you * Integrate social media and virtual events with existing pre-show, at-show and post-show tactics * Avoid older "virtual" techniques that have been proven to fail * Make the most of live streaming, video interviewing, mobile polling, and other innovations * Expand and enhance your community of customers and prospects year-round * Demonstrate the value of social media to key decision-makers
