When:  Thursday, January 24, 2013, 2:45 p.m. – 4 p.m.

Description: Ask ten people how they define value, cost and Return-On-Investment (ROI), you’ll likely get ten different answers. Every company has unique objectives and definitions for costs, leads, and the value of brand awareness, ROI and pre-event promotion. Plus, these benchmarks are used in completely different ways - some strategically and some not. HCEA has embarked on the groundbreaking mission to identify how major healthcare exhibitors benchmark their success and how they use this information for their strategic planning and program improvement. This session will reveal the results of a new HCEA survey focusing on how healthcare exhibitors define ROI, cost, and success, which will enable attendees to compare and contrast the results with their own programs. Additionally, the survey results will be accompanied by a panel of experts who will share the best ways to showcase metrics and benchmarks so that you can get the most out of your strategic planning and communicating the most critical findings within your own data.
