Time to Start Traveling!
People on the Street, Presented by Crestron:
“Is conference travel back? How many shows will you attend in 2023”
The results of 128 voters for the January “People on the Street” poll are in…
| ANSWER | PERCENTAGE |
| 3-4: A mix of shows. | 39% |
| 1-2: Just the main ones. | 22% |
| 5-6: Bags are getting packed. | 18% |
| 9+ What travel ban? | 14% |
| 0: Still no travel. | 4% |
| 7-8: Let’s do this! | 4% |
Travel seems to be back for the majority of our higher ed people, with 79% attending from 1 to 6 shows in 2023, including the largest block, 39%, attending 3-4. This means that both regional shows and the majors (like InfoComm) will be key factors in our community building this year. Surprisingly 14% say they will attend 9 or more shows, demonstrating the importance of being in-person with our manufacturer and higher ed verticals. Only 4% say that travel is still not allowed.
And… don’t forget to vote in the new poll! “Are you back to normal summer installs?”… Poll not found
