On The Struggle and the Reward Juggling Multiple Exhibitions: 🏆 Managing a single exhibition can be a challenge, but handling multiple ones at once? That’s a whole new level. This past month, the Kadmon Brin team has been running from one exhibition to the next, coordinating details, handling unexpected curveballs, and trying to keep everything (and myself!) on track. It’s been intense—but it’s also incredibly rewarding. The struggle is real! Every exhibition has its unique logistics, from setups and schedules to coordinating with different teams and partners. There were days I felt like a circus performer, juggling a dozen tasks at once. But, as exhausting as it can be, there’s a real sense of satisfaction that comes from seeing each one come together. What I love most is that moment when the doors open, people start arriving, and the hard work we put in behind the scenes becomes a reality. Each event brings its own sense of accomplishment—each setup completed, each detail nailed down, each team member stepping up to make it all happen. The lessons learned along the way?  Stay flexible, communicate constantly, and celebrate every win—big or small. Because, in the end, the challenges are part of the journey, and the feeling of accomplishment is worth every bit of the struggle. Pictured below are some of our exhibitions from last month around the world: Pentera, TopGum Industries , Gat Foods, Rapyd, Cylus, Medis #EventManagement #Exhibitions #Teamwork #CEO #LessonsLearned

The way to success is not so easy, but together with likeminded successful people it can involve some shortcuts. Thank you Toby Walters for making these intros and shortcuts for Me and Estonian suppliers. But how did all this started and how I was almost kick-out form the opening party! It is 2019 and I´m preparing my trip to Barcelona, to participate at the Cruise Ship Interiors Barcelona 2019. PS! Still there is a year to go when we will create Estonian Marine and Manufacturing Initiative - EMI, but it is already in my mind. I tried hard to get access to all the invitation only events, I tried to get in to the opening party, but back then I was just a random Deal Maker form Estonia. All the ways I tried I got rejected. But I did not give up, there was one Estonian company participating at the show - Eumar Design, later in 2020 one of EMI founding members Arkadi Berman (about Arkadi you can read on next week post) gave me one of he´s company exhibitor badges. Thank you for this badge - I still have it and soon will frame it :) And I WAS IN to the opening party 📣. This is were I actually met first time Toby as a person and our first conversation was straightforward and honest. Is till remember when Toby asked me: "How did you get in, we rejected your request for at least 10 times". And my answer was simple and quick: "When I need to be somewhere I will find the way". I was close to be kicked-out from the event, but the then Toby just smiled and walked. I think - I was accepted :). This simple conversation always reminds me, we have to carefully select the people with whom we surround ourselves and it is important to keep on going when you have clear vision and mission, no-one can stop us then :). Toby I truly appreciate your efforts and the show you have built for Marine Community, keep on going! Team #EstonianMarineMafia is coming in full speed and we will rock the marine industry. This was the beginning of my journey with Toby Walters and the amazing team at the Cruise Ship Interiors - lets make some magic in coming years.

Pretty good article about the four types of exhibition stand spaces and why RECONFIGURABILITY is important!

The essence of a remarkable event lies not just in its execution but in its ability to weave a narrative, stir emotions, and ignite inspiration. We meticulously integrate performances that resonate with your event's theme, transforming any occasion into an enchanting experience that remains in the hearts of attendees long after the final note fades. This performance, presented as a curtain-raiser of our corporate event in Vienna, offers a glimpse into the extraordinary world we would love to craft for you. As fairies dance beneath a cascade of ethereal blue light, their delicate wings flutter, dissolving the ordinary into a moment of divine invocation. At Matrix Events, we believe every detail contributes to the story we're telling. Each element, each brushstroke on the canvas of our collaborative imagination, is an opportunity to create something extraordinary. This isn’t just about planning and executing events; it's about creating moments of magic that linger, that inspire, that transform. #MatrixEvents #EventPlanning #CorporateEvents #Vienna #Tatasteel

Imprint Events are an event company specialising in high end photo booth and photo experiences for corporate events, trade shows, weddings and more. They are also now moving into more event technology solutions, helping people increase their return on their investment for trade shows and exhibitions. Matthew said: “We started as a traditional photo booth company about eight years ago and we rebranded after COVID. We then w split into a corporate and a wedding brand about two years ago so we could focus on different parts of the business for different activities.” The idea of Imprint is to upscale an event to make it an experience for the people who attend and make memories. Matthew added: “Experiential events are the way to go. Anything from using the latest AI features to transform people into spacemen, cowboys and anything you want to be through to using some of that technology just to make photos look better effectively in online retouching and https://lnkd.in/eRms6DQg #InsightUpdate
