The PPAI Expo 2022 delivered a strong, positive experience last month, hosting a welcome return of the industry’s largest, longest-running trade show. That energy continues this month with PPAI Expo Direct-2-You, Feb. 22-24, a virtual experience that brings the Expo home to those who could not join the show last month, or who want to follow up further with the exhibitors they met in Las Vegas.

Along with its lengthy exhibitor roster, Expo D2U is also set to feature an extensive education line-up and opportunities to connect directly with industry peers and colleagues.

In January 2021, PPAI introduced Expo D2U, a virtual, live event featuring education and thought leadership, real-time networking opportunities and engaging product introductions on a flexible schedule that attendees could access from home or anywhere. The PPAI Expo has long been fueled by creative ideas and new approaches, allowing the Association to reinvent year after year to meet and exceed the needs of industry professionals and companies. Expo D2U in 2021 was no exception. A tremendous success, it drew nearly 500 exhibiting companies and close to 11,000 attendees over its four-day run.

Building on a system developed for Expo D2U 2021, the product discovery experience at this year’s event is unparalleled. Distributors will connect with exhibitors from across the industry in virtual booths using live chats and video conferencing to share their products and show deals. And Expo’s popular Product Pavilions are only a click away. Attendees can examine the most sought-after and trending products in the show’s New Products, Green Products, Made In The USA Products and Healthpitality Products pavilions.

A diverse education schedule at Expo D2U will allow attendees to curate an experience that best meets their needs and professional growth. Taught by industry thought leaders and subject matter experts, the schedule features original content produced for Expo D2U and some of the best sessions from The PPAI Expo 2022, Women’s Leadership Summit and Product Responsibility Summit. Speakers lined up for the event include speaker and author Simon T. Bailey; Geiger President and CEO Jo-an Lantz, MAS; Proforma Founder Greg Muzzillo; Cliff Quicksell Associates President and PPAI Hall of Fame Inductee Cliff Quicksell, MAS+, and more. Sessions examine a wide range of subjects important to promotional products professionals, ranging from finding success in a post-pandemic economy to developing a profit and purpose-driven business to evolving customer prospecting techniques and beyond.

While virtual, Expo D2U will allow industry practitioners to meet and connect with each other, through video chat and lounge features. The three-day event allows attendees to grow their business with new ideas, fresh marketing strategies and industry-leading innovation without leaving their home.
