Project Brief

Each year Derse attends EXHIBITORLIVE, the premiere comprehensive educational event for trade show and event marketing professionals. Derse’s presence at the 2019 conference brought to life the concept of “Wanderlust…Where To?” The concept was built from the insight that trade show professionals are road warriors. They love to share where they’ve been and where they dream of going. Throughout the conference week, we invited EXHIBITORLIVE attendees to imagine their personal and professional dream destinations and to inspire them that, with Derse, their desired trade show program is within reach. And, the journey together is so worth it.

PRE-SHOW

Derse’s pre-show campaign for EXHIBITORLIVE alluded to the travel theme that would allow attendees to share their own dream destinations.

CLIENT EVENT

To pay tribute to Derse’s travel theme, the “Taste of Morocco” customer appreciation event boasted North African fare, music, and a featured spice-mixing station. Attendees were also encouraged to participate in a green-screen photo op, placing them in front of bucket-list destinations.
