EP 182 | Why Your Trade Show Booth Isn’t Working — And How to Fix It (Guest Appearance on Behind the Experience Podcast)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most trade show booths fail for one simple reason: they’re built to be seen, not experienced. In this conversation, Matt breaks down why the old playbook no longer works and what actually drives pipeline today.
Learn:
✅ Why “show up and pitch” is killing engagement and what to replace it with
✅ How pre-show and post-show strategy often matter more than the booth itself
✅ What it really takes to turn events from a cost center into a revenue driver
In this guest appearance on the Behind the Experience Podcast, Matt Kleinrock joins Francisco Opazo of Eventify to unpack the shift happening across trade shows and B2B events.
The conversation goes beyond booth design and into strategy -- covering audience intent, experience design, and how today’s attendees engage on the show floor.
From aligning sales and marketing to rethinking how events influence the full customer journey, this episode challenges the way most teams approach events today and what needs to change moving forward.
If you want your events to actually drive pipeline, not just check a box, start here.
