Trade shows and events are coming back, but they look a little different than they have in the past. In this episode of OUTdrive, I visit with Scott Hanna about trade shows after COVID-19 and industry trends in 2021. Scott is the Vice President of Sales for Skyline E3 and E3 interactive. Together, these companies provide unforgettable experiences through exhibits, events and environments.

Scott joined the Skyline E3 team over 16 years ago and has demonstrated his expertise as VP of sales. The trade show industry is a natural fit for him, and he works with his team to deliver exceptional results for every client. Scott received his MBA in finance and bachelor of science degree in journalism from the University of Kansas. He went on to gain experience in publishing and insurance before joining Skyline. The company founded E3 interactive in 2020, and Scott is VP of sales for both companies. Whether it is a large exhibit or a small company event, Scott and his team exceed expectations every time.

Tune in as Cliff and Scott discuss the impacts of COVID-19 on trade shows and how Skyline E3 and E3 interactive adapted to COVID-19. They also discuss trade show trends in 2021 and take a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to create a great experience. Check it out!
