2016 NPI Show a Success
"WOW, What a show!"
...seems to be the reaction everyone is giving about PPAChicago's 2016 NPI Show.
We had a record turnout at Arlington Park this year with more than 1,600 registrants! Many more of our distributor members brought or sent their clients this year, which speaks volumes about this end user format. Thank you to our sponsor partners, the supplier exhibitors, the distributors, and their clients for making this show such a success.
Our suppliers could not believe the amount of qualified leads they received. It was a great idea to have the distributors and end users take photos of what they liked in case the suppliers couldn't get to detailed note taking with the lead retrieval system. The lead retrieval system is new and worked great, but with the amount of people in the booths, they could hardly keep up!
If you took a head shot, be sure to get it from the photographers
website.
This was a new feature for us this year and due to its success, we will bring it back for next year. So be sure to remember to plan to take yours next year.
The New Orleans Jazz band that walked through the show put a lot of energy into the event and we thank those of you who clamped and sang along. Our industry is fun and you all showed just how fun we are!
Our Pre-Show Party had to be moved to a bigger venue because of the great turn out we had. Thanks again to the sponsors who helped us put on a great party for our suppliers! It is a wonderful way to network and get to know each other. And what a welcome treat after a day of setting up for the show. It was a super kick off.
