2024 was a big year for Qualcomm as they moved from two booth locations to return exclusively to the show floor with a large booth presence. The results and feedback validated the decision for a primarily private booth in the West Hall. Qualcomm’s success was marked by the success of at-show meetings:

  • The majority of meetings happened in the booth vs. offsite

  • Booth meetings increased 30%

  • On-site meetings plus scheduled demo tours drove the best engagement
