Discussions are occurring all thru the industry regarding how "long" this devastating impact is going to play out on the events industry.

​

Indeed, this segment of industry is likely one of the most dramatically impacted as virtually all events have been cancelled in the last months.   Large facilities are being re-designated as field hospitals, or other accommodation such as food distribution, and so on.

​

Changing out the facilities is the least of our concerns.   The professionals that operate these facilities are quite accustomed to completely changing the purpose and function on a weekly basis -- as the events industry goes.

​

But, the bigger question is how quickly will people return.    When conventions, expos, and fairs begin to hold their schedules -- will people attend?    That is an excellent question.

​

The ideal of social distancing will remain strong on the minds and conduct of our public for many months - or even years to come.   As an industry, we need to find a way to accommodate that within the exposition fair industry.

​

tXpo was NOT designed for social distancing.   It was intended as a expo "greening" tool, and to generate sales inquiries for exhibitors and provide additional revenues to the producers.    And, it does all of that.

​

But, tXpo also offers an excellent social-distancing accommodation as a simple function of how it works.   Attendees are able -- thru the sending of a single text (from signage in each booth) to collect the exhibitors literature in digital form -- and to simultaneously pass their contact info for an appropriate follow-up later.    This accommodates all exhibitor/attendee connectivity requirements, and does so in both a "green" and "socially distant" way.

​

tXpo is a brand-new service.  Only just now opening to booking events.   But, it might be something to consider for your exposition or fair -- as it is very tech-trendy, green, and brings little to no deployment cost.
