Events are one of the few channels where sales and marketing can show up together, face-to-face, and create real trust.And yet, many event programs are still planned and measured like isolated moments. So it's no surprise they struggle to earn long-term credibility.In our first live episode of 2026, Matt sits down with MacKenzie Grant (Senior Director of Marketing, Experiences at Enverus) to unpack what changes when events are designed as part of a broader go-to-market strategy—one that supports the full buyer journey, aligns teams, and connects creativity directly to business outcomes.Rather than focusing on aesthetics or one-off wins, the conversation explores:✅ How event programs gain momentum when they're integrated across sales, marketing, and customer teams✅ Why creativity thrives when accountability is shared, not imposed✅ Where AI actually helps event teams extend impact (without stripping away trust or human connection)This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about finally making sense of how events fit into the work you're already doing.Join us live to rethink how events support growth—before the next show gets planned the same way as the last one.----------------------------------Connect with MacKenzie GrantLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mackenziemgrant/Connect with Matt KleinrockLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/Company: https://rockwayexhibits.com/

Some products are easy to show on a show floor. AI isn't one of them.When your product is abstract, powerful, and sometimes intimidating, the challenge isn't just explaining what it does—it's helping people feel why it matters. That's where this conversation goes.In this episode, Matt sits down with Chelsea Sparrow, Go-To-Market Manager at Microsoft, to unpack how her team brings AI tools like Copilot to life at events where demos alone fall flat and trust has to be earned.Instead of defaulting to laptops and feature walkthroughs, Chelsea shares how Microsoft designs experiences around audience mindset, cultural context, and emotion.Learn about:✅ Designing experiences based on who the audience is and what they care about, not a one-size-fits-all playbook✅ Why story, trust, and cultural relevance matter more than polished demos—especially for AI✅ How brand partnerships and community voices help tech brands show up without feeling tone-deaf or salesyIf you're responsible for marketing complex products in a world where skepticism is high, this episode will change how you think about experience design.----------------------------------Connect with Chelsea SparrowLinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/chelsea-sparrow/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chelsea-sparrow/)Connect with Matt KleinrockLinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/)  Company: [https://rockwayexhibits.com/](https://rockwayexhibits.com/)

In part 2 of our year-end conversation, Justin Lawrence and Steven Farag get deeply honest about the hardest parts of business ownership—from the loneliness of financial struggle to making tough decisions that saved their companies. They discuss the Thunder championship impact, 30% workforce reductions, knowing when to step back from trade shows, and why both are working to build businesses they could sell (but may not).

2025 was a loud year for event marketers—big wins, tough lessons, shifting expectations, and an industry that moved faster than anyone planned. So before we step into 2026, we're slowing down to make sense of what actually mattered this year.In this year-end live show, Matt Kleinrock and Coty Adams look back at the themes, pressure points, and breakthroughs that kept resurfacing in conversations all year long.You'll get a mix of reflection, clarity, and forward momentum, including:

In this episode of Manufacturing Unscripted, host Peter Parsons is joined by John Krause to recap the major manufacturing tradeshows of 2025 and share what the industry can look forward to in 2026. The conversation takes a closer look at The Assembly Show 2025, including insights from conversations with exhibitors who submitted Product of the Year entries and the innovations that stood out on the show floor. Peter and John discuss key themes that emerged throughout the event, including the growing role of robotics, increased collaboration between manufacturers and technology partners, and the steady introduction of new technologies aimed at improving efficiency and flexibility. They also dive into booth strategy — from booth location and layout to attire and branding — and how these details impact engagement and visibility at tradeshows. This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in manufacturing events, sales, marketing, or technology, offering practical takeaways and a forward-looking perspective on where the industry is headed in 2026.

Event marketers have spent years being asked to execute flawlessly—booths built, shows staffed, leads scanned.But the conversations Matt Kleinrock and Coty Adams keep having tell a different story: execution alone is no longer enough. Strategy exists… it's just not being consistently applied.This special compilation brings together the most defining moments from Matt and Coty's conversations this year, centered on what actually moves events from a cost of doing business to a business-driving channel.You'll hear perspective on:✅ Why event portfolio design and success metrics matter more than how many shows you attend✅ How measurement, not attribution perfection, creates credibility with leadership✅ What real sales alignment and follow-up ownership look like when events are treated as business eventsListen with a pen in hand. This one isn't about inspiration, it's about how event marketers level up when execution stops being the end goal.--------------------- Episode LinksEP 153 | Stop Wasting Events: Strategic Takeaways from CEMA Summit 2025[https://www.buzzsprout.com/2035112/episodes/17614073](https://www.buzzsprout.com/2035112/episodes/17614073) EP 142 | The Current State of Events: Data, Strategy & Smarter Spend[https://www.buzzsprout.com/2035112/episodes/17196667](https://www.buzzsprout.com/2035112/episodes/17196667) EP 155 | Fixing the Sales Handoff: How Event Marketers Can Drive Follow-Through and Results[https://www.buzzsprout.com/2035112/episodes/17703581](https://www.buzzsprout.com/2035112/episodes/17703581) --------------------- Connect With UsMatt Kleinrock: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/) Coty Adams: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/cotykadams/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cotykadams/) Our Company: [https://rockwayexhibits.com/](https://rockwayexhibits.com/)

Last year's “best of” episode became the most downloaded in the history of the show for one reason: it gave event marketers a framework that actually changed how they worked.2025 took that conversation further.This special compilation pulls together the ideas Matt and Pablo hammered on all year—the ones that challenged how events are positioned inside organizations, how experiences are executed on the show floor, and why so many teams feel boxed in by budgets that don't leave room for strategy.You'll hear five shifts that defined event marketing in 2025, including:✅ Why events belong inside go-to-market strategy, not on the sidelines and how that changes how leaders see your work✅ How story, standards, and execution are becoming the real differentiators in a sea of sameness✅ The reality of the 41% problem: what it means for budgets, expectations, and how sophisticated teams engineer around itIf you're tired of fighting the same battles year after year, this episode is your next step forward.----------------------------------Connect with Pablo GonzalezLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pablotheconnector/  Connect with Matt KleinrockLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/    Company: https://rockwayexhibits.com/

Many of the challenges growers faced this year will carry into 2026.  Their resiliency is being tested and wise agronomic decisions are even more vital.Hundreds gathered at the Agricultural Retailers Association Conference and Trade Show in Salt Lake City for updates. “Some of the challenges we have faced, while many of them are similar to the past, there are a few that are unique and new,”  remarked Mike Twining of Willard Agri-Service, which partners with Redox. “A lot of those challenges deal with uncertainty, with changes ranging from local to global that are new and different.”Twining said newer technology including biostimulants can help growers, and it's important for agronomists to provide sound solutions. Grower Grant Norwood of Tennessee is among those increasing his use of biostimulants. He participated in a panel discussion carried out by Farm Journal and EVOIA. Vice President of Fertilizer at StoneX Josh Linville updated growers on the fertilizer outlook, which overall includes higher prices and more volatility. He was optimistic for improvement in the future. “High prices always cure high prices,” he said. “When you get there, supplies start to increase. New potash production is coming down the line. Hopefully new nitrogen production announcements are coming.”ARA President and CEO Daren Coppock said the ag economy downturn has been a little longer than usual, but the cyclical nature of the industry indicates improvement is down the road.

Today, Samantha Conner kicks off a two-part Five Minute Friday series breaking down the lifeblood of every retail business: inventory. And to understand inventory, we're taking it all the way back to where it begins — trade shows and markets. In Part 1, Samantha uncovers the biggest 2026 trade show trends every retailer needs to know, whether you're selling apparel, home and gift, children's, western, or anything in between. With over 25 shows attended last year, The Boutique Hub team has a front-row seat to what's changing — and how you can plan smarter. You'll learn: Why there are more trade shows than ever and what that means for you The rise of niche markets and how they can serve your business How major shows are leveling up with education, activations, and immersive experiences What retailers should consider when deciding which shows to attend Why inspiration at market is becoming just as important as the product itself  

If you've ever been handed a booth brief with zero strategy … or chased down sales to follow up on hundreds of “leads” … or been asked to “do more shows next year” with the same budget, you know the pain.That old model? It's broken.But the fix isn't a bigger booth or a cooler activation. It's a shift — away from chasing attention and toward driving revenue.In this episode, Justin Keys (Sr. Manager, Brand Marketing at Georgia-Pacific) joins Matt to break down how event marketers take back their seat at the table with a strategy that aligns sales, qualifies the right audience faster, and turns follow-up into real pipeline.Here's how to make that shift stick:✅ Move from “builder and executor” to strategic revenue partner (and earn that seat early)✅ Create on-site moments that quickly separate real buyers from booth tourists✅ Audit your show calendar so you invest only where it pays offTune in if you're done putting on a show and ready to drive the business.This is your new event strategy.----------------------------------Connect with Justin KeysLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinakeys/Connect with Matt KleinrockLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/  Company: https://rockwayexhibits.com/
