Attendee Research - COGNITIVE IMPACT is a noted market research firm with experience profiling companies and individuals who would benefit from attending your event. We will work closely with you to compose an exacting set of criteria for the ideal attendee and then enact a strategy and action plan to reach these individuals.

During the show, we can also extract information from attendees via web surveys and questionnaires to elicit opinions and impressions of your event. This feedback is invaluable for fine tuning your event and establishing methodologies for reaching attendees and companies for your next event.

Press and Analyst Registration - COGNITIVE IMPACT has a long-standing reputation with the press, media and analyst communities that spans more than two decades. Show events represent significant opportunities to increase mindshare and garner maximum press and media exposure. A multitude of editors from publications and analyst firms from around the world regularly attend these events looking for material to cover in their respective magazines and analyst outlets. Is your event going to be the one that gets covered? Or will it be your competition?

COGNITIVE IMPACT actually begins working for you months before your event even commences. Months and weeks prior to the event, COGNITIVE IMPACT will contact all press, analysts and media relevant to your event and solicit them to attend. We will educate them as to the relevance and importance of your show in the markets in which you are active and invite them to visit with you, as well as important exhibitors and dignitaries.

Most importantly, we will utilize all forms of hardcopy and on-line media, associations and analyst vehicles to publicize your event - before, during and following the show itself. By tapping our vast network of trade press, media outlets, financial and technology analyst firms, we will ensure that it will be your event that will be on everyone's lips going into the show.

On-site Coordination - COGNITIVE IMPACT will work for you at the event itself. We will station our personnel to greet and meet with attendees, exhibiting companies, keynote speakers and trade press and media representatives. We will be more than happy to also set up meetings between these individuals and yourself or other designated companies or personnel. Our staff will also take care of all related location management, contractors, scheduling and any related paperwork. This saves you time so that you can devote your resources and energies to doing what you do best - staging an event to remember.
