Tradeshow Tuesday: Are You a Moldmaker Who Exhibits and Attends Events?

At least 40 mold builders are sharpening their marketing and trade skills at NPE2018 by participating as exhibitors. NPE2018 is a unique, specialized event that only takes place once every three years, so I wanted to make sure that mold shops have the information that they need to promote themselves and to make the most out of their investments in the show.

Are you both exhibiting at NPE2018 and attending it? If you are an NPE exhibitor, then you have access to a press portal in the NPE Exhibitor Dashboard where you can quickly upload information about one your shop’s services or capabilities that you want to highlight at the show. If you use that portal to submit information about a service or capability you want to showcase at NPE, the information will be considered for publication in the NPE Show Daily issues or in several Gardner Business Media magazine show preview issues like MoldMaking Technology, Plastics Technology, CompositesWorld and Additive Manufacturing. In short, using that dashboard is an efficient and free way to give your shop’s unique service or capability maximum visibility.

If you use that portal to submit information about a service or capability you want to showcase at NPE, the information will be considered for publication in the NPE Show Daily issues or in several Gardner Business Media magazine show preview issues like MoldMaking Technology
