ShowProDX

COVID-19 has disrupted business and supply chains worldwide. ProMat 2021, the supply chain industry’s premier opportunity for face-to-face business interaction, has been cancelled. Your company’s quest to find new business and strengthen relationships with existing customers can never stop. That is why MHI’s new ProMat Digital Experience, ProMatDX, will be a crucial resource to discover new business.

Today’s supply chain industry professionals are not only looking for solutions, they are in search of partners to help them navigate these uncharted waters. The world relies on the material handling and supply chain industry to get things where they need to be. As the authoritative resource for material handling, ProMatDX will provide sponsors with a unique opportunity to tell your story to practitioners looking for solutions that will streamline supply chain operations.

Obtaining meaningful facetime with your customers and prospects in 2021 is harder to do than ever before. But conditions that are out of your control should not diminish the importance of filling your sales pipeline. Reaching potential buyers is even more important during tough times. Expectations will need to be reimagined and total team effort will be more important than ever. ProMatDX is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for marketing, business development, sales, leadership and ownership to leverage a digital experience that combines storytelling using the power of AI with MHI’s vast industry reach. ShowProDX will deliver sponsors the knowledge and content to help maximize your investment in ProMatDX.

1:00 PM - 2:30 PM ESTSuccessfully Marketing, Selling & Digitally Exhibiting During a Crisis

In the current business environment, your marketing, selling and digital exhibiting strategies must be adjusted and refined to survive and ultimately thrive as we come out of these challenging times.

1:00 PM - 1:30 PM ESTHow a ProMatDX Digital Exhibit Can Help Your Company During a Crisis

While the COVID-19 pandemic created massive changes in our lives and businesses, what hasn’t changed is the critical need to continue marketing your company, servicing your customers and selling your products and services. To help our exhibitors maintain brand visibility, interact and educate the supply chain community and continue to generate leads and sales, MHI pivoted ProMat 2021 to a digital event that includes digital sponsor showcases. Because digital exhibiting is a new marketing medium for most companies, we want to make sure everyone clearly understands how digital exhibits are similar to and yet very different from a live face-to-face exhibit. We are excited to provide a brand- new strategic web-training session from Jefferson Davis, one of America’s leading experts on B2B marketing, sales and exhibiting success.

10:00 AM – 11:30 AM ESTStorytelling

When asked what they do for a living, most people will respond by simply reciting the products and services they have to offer. ProMat 2021 offers the perfect venue to tell your company’s story to the world. For most people, telling a story can be a challenge – where to start, how to get there and where to take it aren’t always easy to articulate. Not everyone is born a great storyteller, and some stories are certainly better than others, but everybody can learn how to do it and everybody can create a relevant story.
