I have been blessed to have interviewed a lot of people, and have only been nervous a couple of times. For today's episode, I was probably more intimidated than ever! Glenn Hansen is a true leader and innovator - literally setting the standards for the industry. If you're considering running a digital or virtual event, or maybe looking to change platforms for your next one...How do you know the way they are reporting results is consistent? (That's kinda important) You didn't. Until now! Today's guest is one of the leaders to get Data and Reporting Standards for digital events in place. Glenn Hansen, CEO of BPA Worldwide, is a pioneer and legend in the industry. Under Glenn's leadership, BPA pioneered trade show attendance auditing and facilitated a working group creating the data standard for digital events called RSDE, Reporting Standards for Digital Events. Why are standards important and what do you need to know about them?
We Dive into the topic of Data standards for digital events and Discuss:
With COVID and the rush to digital, there were unintended consequences. What did you see in that regard?
What were the circumstances that led you and BPA to think deeper about “standards” for digital event data?
What are the phases that are being rolled out?
What is RSDE made up of?
And so much more!

3) Jim's Pro Trade Show Tip #149 - Book a few extra days to explore a New City
If you are going to attend or work a show in a new city you are excited to visit, book a few extra days to take in all the sights.
Remember - when you are going to a trade show, you are there to do business and hit whatever goals you set. And that means making the most of the after-hours time for networking, having meetings, and more.
Having a day or couple of days already set aside to explore allows you to stay focused on why you are there in the first place!
