THREE SECONDS. GOT THE MESSAGE?
When you exhibit at an expo or trade show, you have just 3 seconds to grab attendees’ attention. That’s about how long it typically takes for someone to walk past a 10x10 booth. Messaging to attendees at an event must be simple, to the point, and most importantly, compelling.
