The Marketing Minute: If Your Marketing Budget Gets Cut in Half, Then What?
This year marked the 21st SMTA Dallas in Plano, Texas. Having sold out their booth space once again, the Dallas electronics business community showed up with lots of energy and ready to do business. SMTA Dallas has grown from a small chapter event to one that is now on its 3rd venue and pushing the envelope on SMTA’s 100-exhibitor rule. Industry veteran Gary Tanel, SMTA Director of Membership and Dallas’ event manager, has a lot to be proud of. (Check out our pre-show interview with Gary Tanel.)
The event kicked off with an entertaining and informative 9:00 am morning keynote by Mike Konrad of Aqueous Solutions who discussed the industry’s evolution in cleaning and where we find ourselves today as features become smaller and reliability becomes both more elusive and critical. The show floor opened at 10:00 am, and with two more keynotes throughout the day, lots of great coffee, a Texas BBQ lunch and a generous happy hour. Happy exhibitors and visitors engaged and enjoyed catching up with old colleagues and friends.
