KEYNOTE / EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR:

Hidden in Plain Sight
Finding the Ideas, Relationships, and Opportunities Others Walk Right Past

**Presented by Cliff Quicksell, CSP, MAS+**
President & Founder, Quicksell Group

See the Show Floor Differently

Every trade show is filled with products. The best business professionals see something entirely different.

They see ideas waiting to be discovered, relationships waiting to be built, and opportunities their competitors never recognize.

In this fast-paced, thought-provoking pre-show session, Cliff Quicksell will transform the way you experience the exhibit hall. Rather than simply walking booth to booth collecting samples and brochures, you’ll learn how exceptional professionals uncover trends, ask better questions, connect seemingly unrelated ideas, and turn ordinary conversations into extraordinary business opportunities.

Something for Everyone

For Distributors

Discover the mindset that separates trusted advisors from order takers. Learn to uncover ideas that help clients grow, differentiate their brands, and see you as an indispensable strategic resource.

For End-User Clients

Get a behind-the-scenes look at how exceptional distributors search for innovative ideas, emerging trends, and creative solutions on your behalf. You’ll gain a new appreciation for the value a strategic promotional marketing partner brings to your business long before a product is ever recommended.

For Suppliers

Gain insight into how today’s best distributors evaluate new ideas and identify partners capable of solving real client challenges. You’ll be better prepared for meaningful conversations that extend beyond features, pricing, and product specifications.

Walk Into the Fall Expo with a New Perspective

By the time the exhibit hall opens, you won’t simply be ready to walk the floor. You’ll be ready to experience it differently.

Recognize opportunities others overlook. Ask better questions. Build stronger relationships. And leave the GCPPA Fall Expo with ideas capable of creating value long after the show ends.
