Unlock the secret to maximizing your ROI at ECA MarketPlace! Here are our helpful hints from previous attendees: 1 - Plan your presentation. With only 15 minutes for each scheduled interview, you'll want to have your elevator pitch ready to go. 2 - Prepare a questionnaire. With dozens of interviews throughout the show, you'll want a way to easily stay organized and capture responses for each company representative you speak with. 3 - Give a company overview. We recommend allotting the first couple minutes of each meeting as a "Organization Overview" 4 - Know your needs and capabilities. Be ready to discuss the specifics and get into the details. Make the most of your time allocated by being brief and concise 5 - Participate in the networking activities. Don't come just to work - there are social events planned for each evening that offer great opportunities to connect with attendees not on your meeting agenda. 6 - Visit the Vendor Exhibit Hall. You may see a vendor at any time that vendor-carrier interviews are not being conducted. Your success is our success, and we're here to see you thrive!
