Michael Bekker – Business Development Director, Dedicom
It works! 30% of our trade show leads converted to clients.

A large part of our success can be credited to Jakob Dyrbye and The Trade Show Academy.
Especially measured by the qualified leads we brought home, where several now are great customers.

Jakob supported us from start to finish. We were well trained, and knew exactly what to do and say.

Pia Marie Schougaard – Owner, Coredesign
Wow. What a rewarding aha-moment!

Under Jakob Dyrbye's guidance, I uncovered a world beyond my expectations.
Trade show planning revealed itself not just as logistics, but as a colorful, in-depth, and psychologically intriguing world.

Where every element, from the booth layout and zones to the use of colors, plays a crucial role.
Christoffer Back – Group Sales & Marketing Director, Ocee & Four Design
Jakob offered real-world examples that illustrated his points, giving us a clear idea of what we could do to improve our own exhibition and trade show return on investment.

His presentation was a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their trade show presence and marketing efforts.
Sarah Wöhliche Pedersen – Communications Consultant, Industriens Uddannelser
Fantastic teaching. Everyone - from beginners to seasoned pros - feels well prepared.

We left with a new mindset about trade show behavior and a shared understanding of what it entails
- with everything from roles and responsibilities to signal value. We all feel well-prepared for our next event.

A kind of theater where every element, from the booth layout and zones to the use of colors, plays a crucial role in the stories and experiences we create for our visitors.

Jakob conveyed the material in an easy-to-understand, effective and professional manner.

and concrete tools to strengthen value creation in our trade show work.

I can highly recommend.
Lukasz Marusia – International Sales Director, Clever Frame International
We wanted to get the most effective strategy in place for our most important fair, EuroShop.

We would recommend Jakob to any company looking to improve their face-to-face marketing performance.

THE WHY

Despite the enormous time and money put into trade fairs, only 12,5% can pinpoint the specific results this investment provide

We want to change that [and it is about time]

Our dream is to unite face-to-face marketing professionals from across the world. To give them the tools to develop and improve the tremendous potential that all of us who work with trade shows, exhibitions, and events KNOW there is. All of our resources, and skills must come into play. By gathering new knowledge, by studying new trends, by challenging each other, and by sharing what we have, we can all improve ourselves professionally, and set new standards for face-to-face marketing.

I would give 5 stars for Jakob's knowledge bank.

And suddenly we have this common language for how we talk, plan and attend trade shows.
It is a whole new way of thinking – a different mindset.

Can you afford NOT to train
your team?

“It is essential for a company’s success that both management and employees continuously get the necessary (formal) trade show and event training. 

Countless man-hours and vast economic resources go into trade shows, exhibitions, conferences, events, and experiences around the world. Yet very few of us can pinpoint the specific benefits these investments provide, why I ask: can you afford not to train your team?”
