206 - Adapting Trade Shows for the Future - with Marlys Arnold

When Marlys Arnold, a passionate trade show organizer for over two decades, started her podcast all the way back in 2006, she reconciled her journalistic and marketing backgrounds to navigate an ever-evolving industry and build a better trade show image for her audience.

You will learn:
