TradeshowGuyBlog.com Aims for Success

Tim "Blog" Patterson
A new online resource for tradeshow marketing managers has been launched by Interpretive Exhibits’ VP of Sales and Marketing Tim Patterson. TradeshowGuyBlog.com is focused on helping anyone who exhibits at tradeshows to better understand the challenges of marketing in this unique medium.
Offering tips, e-books, blog posts, articles and a podcast, Patterson says that the new blog is the “big umbrella of everything tradeshow marketing.”
Patterson also intends to share thoughts and posts on industry happenings, client updates, current projects and related items. “Blogs are meant to be a lively, ongoing conversation and that’s what I intend with this,” said Patterson. He said he plans to post 2 – 3 items per week, including audio and video when appropriate.
For several years Patterson has hosted a tradeshow marketing podcast, “The Listening Lounge” on Interpretive Exhibits’ main website and plans to migrate the podcast over to the new blog setting.
Go Tim.






Wow… this is exciting… I never thought I’d see the day… but… hey, here we are.
It’s about DAMN TIME! Best way to keep tabs on the industry short of networking at EXHIBITOR SHOW.
I like this! Sign me up.
Why are we so passionate about trade shows? Does anyone have a definitive answer? I’d love to know.

Thanks Jeff. It’s great to have a designation that really explains what we are – fans, believers, supporters, boosters, and enthusiasts of our industry. It’s easy to explain to clients, friends, colleagues, and instantly understood ;^)
Bob… there is no other Bob Thomas like you… you are truly a one-off. Your contributions to the business are vast and broad… and you appreciated for all you’ve done.
Congratulations Jeff! Your search is over. I know you have been looking for someone with nuanced intellect, quick wit, sex appeal and star power for the Blues Wall…and you’ve found that and more in my dear friend Art Veale. They don”t come any better than Art. It’s been said that “it’s always darkest right before it’s pitch black”. Well, if that is the case….here’s the light at the end of our tunnel. I’m signing up.

Question: Are we having fun yet?
Congrats, Ben. It's been a while since we did the AYFS gig but as usual, you pulled it together and made it happen. You certainly deserve the top honors… Bus
You had me at "Back to School."
Can't wait to add TSE to my resume….no explanation of course! I 'll get calls just to know what it is!
Thanks, Bernadette… I assume you meant CTE… Certified Tradeshow Enthusiast… We'll look forward to it…
I like your program, but complicated for old guys like me to communicate
keep up the good work.
Way to go – love when the efforts pay off
Thanks… we love it, too
