Don’t overlook the value of print advertising in the conference show daily. Ask about value-addeds: do advertisers get to submit press releases for guaranteed publication?

All of these suggestions have tie-ins to your show daily, including:
- Social media: share digital links to your show daily; publish the day’s best tweets in your show daily; remind attendees of the hashtag.
- Event apps: create a news section for sharing digital links and photos.
- Interactive kiosks: ask your photo booth team to provide your show daily publisher with access to some images to publish in your show daily. And don’t forget to thank your sponsor.

- Thank the mobile app sponsors
- Include QR codes for attendees to use to download the app
