/in , /by

Event to Feature 28 Leading-Edge Providers of CCM Technology and Services

Lutz, FL – May 18, 2022 – Xplor International, the worldwide electronic document systems association, today announced they are accepting applications for exhibit space at their 2022 annual conference, XPLOR22, which will take place September 13-15, 2022, in St. Pete Beach, Florida at the TradeWinds Island Grand Resort.

The two-and-a-half-day conference will focus on Innovative Strategies to Transform the Customer Experience and brings together end users, analysts, consultants, industry experts and vendors from the CCM industry who will share the latest best practices and trends in the customer communications industry.

The show floor is limited to 28 exhibitors and we are offering two “all inclusive” options to choose from: a standard 8×10 booth or an 8×10 kiosk. These options level the playing field for all vendors while providing a more intimate experience.

  • The standard booth ($4750 USD during early bird) includes a 6-foot table with two chairs, carpet, a wastebasket, 7”x44” company identification sign, a five-amp power drop for laptops, two employee full conference passes, as well as two complimentary conference passes for end user customers/prospects.
  • The kiosk option ($5600 USD during early bird) includes the same entitlements as a standard booth as well as a countertop and two graphic panels, with two padded stools instead of chairs.
  • Internet in the Vendor Forum is provided through your guest room access and is sufficient to check your email. Additional bandwidth may be purchased.

“Since announcing the conference dates just two weeks ago, eleven vendors have already signed up for the event and we expect to sell out quickly,” says Skip Henk, President/CEO of Xplor International. “People seem to be back on the road as interest in the event certainly seems high, both from a vendor and an attendee perspective. We look forward to a great event.”

XPLOR21 Conference Update – We Are Moving Forward

/in , /by

The cancelation of PRINTING United Expo, which had been scheduled for October in Orlando, has caused some questions about the XPLOR21 event, scheduled for November 16-18 in St. Pete Beach, Florida. At this point, Xplor International is electing to move forward with XPLOR21 for a variety of reasons:

  • XPLOR21 and Printing United are two very different industry events.
    • XPLOR21 will have a limited number of attendees between 275-325 whereas Printing United would have thousands.
    • XPLOR21 booths are pretty much “all inclusive” with most vendors just bringing popups, brochures and a couple support staff. Conversely, at a large show like Printing United, vendors have to ship equipment well in advance in addition to sending large support staffs.
    • Unlike larger shows, XPLOR21 is “self-contained.” All activities, including sessions, exhibits and networking events are held at a single site, the TradeWinds Island Grand Resort, with most attendees staying at the property.
    • Smaller events such as the Inkjet Summit and ING did well.
  • Enthusiasm remains high.
    • Full agenda – Between Aug 12th and Aug 15th (once again during the peak of things) we received (28) speaker submissions. Our agenda is now populated.
    • Growing Exhibits – Vendors continue to sign up to exhibit. We have filled 17 of 24 booth with ongoing discussions with many others. We expect to sell out.
    • Attendees continue to sign up for the event – Historically we are tracking with past years at 10 weeks out.

The safety of our attendees is a priority and we will follow all CDC guidelines, provide masks and access to sanitizing stations in addition to all of the other safeguards taken by the TradeWinds.

With vaccination rates increasing and new cases in decline, we remain optimistic that the Delta variant is on the decline and hope to see you in St. Pete Beach.

We will be monitoring things over the next couple of weeks and will keep you updated should things change.
