Below is the email signature asset for use.

Download these social media templates to promote your presence at the event on your own social channels. There are two types of visuals to choose from: a general show information visual, a visual with an empty (white) spot that can be used to showcase a product.

If you choose to showcase a product, please download the template and insert your photo behind the template visual - this will ensure the product is shown in the designated "gap" in the design.

IDS has launched a new and improved Exhibitor Profile Manger.

Edit your individual exhibitor listing, including your company's website, contact information, social media handles and photos as early as possible. In the meantime, the directory will only show your company name. Please visit our Exhibitor Listing Instructions page to help guide you through your setup. If you require any further assistance, please contact jeffrey.newland@informa.com.

Our web analytics show that the Exhibitor Listing is the most visited section of our website, so this is a great opportunity for you to showcase your brand in front of thousands of consumers, trade and media.

Build your sales prospect list by scanning attendees* (and fellow exhibitors) using the lead retrieval service provided by MicroSpec, the official registration and ticketing provider for IDS Vancouver. Easily capture, qualify and connect with potential buyers at the show and then view, filter and export your leads to Excel from your lead retrieval portal.

* Only attendees on Professional Trade Day (9am-6pm Friday, Sept. 26) wear badges that can be scanned by the Mini Scanner. Attendees at Thursday’s Opening Night Party and on the weekend don’t wear badges and can’t be scanned by the Mini Scanner. Those attendees use tickets that can only be scanned by the Leads123 mobile app installed on your phone or tablet. These two scanning options are outlined in the chart below.

Benefits: 
Easy To Use – The Lead Retrieval App and Mini Scanners are as simple as point and click so you can spend your time talking to potential buyers and not trying to scan their badge. 

Accurate Information – Since lead data is linked to the event registration data, you will have access to the most up to date information available, even if updated during the event. 

Additional Exposure – When you rent a lead retrieval device or app from MicroSpec your company contact details will appear on the “Who scanned Me” report sent to each attendee post-event and can facilitate proactive follow-up with you by the potential buyer. 

Fully Supported Onsite – MicroSpec lead retrieval personnel are on-site throughout the show with fast and friendly service. They care about your experience so their staff walk the exhibit hall during show hours and visit booths daily. They’re always ready to answer any questions you may have. 

Review and compare the two lead retrieval options outlined on this PDF. 

Place your order by Thursday, Sept. 11 by logging in to your exhibitor badge portal and clicking on the Lead Retrieval button.
