By mid-morning on Day 1 at the Javits Center, buyers are juggling booth maps, printed show guides, and stacks of business cards. Notes like “great ceramics supplier” or “jewelry brand for Q2” lose meaning without context. Photos of cards pile up, conversations blur together, and by the time the event ends, it’s difficult to remember who said what.

Weeks later, many promising conversations go cold because the context that made them valuable was never captured properly. This is where most event ROI is lost.
