Activation Land
SOURCE NEW PARTNERS.
WELCOME TO ACTIVATION LAND: The industry’s only curated playground for experiential ideas.
Forget everything you know about the traditional exhibit hall. And get ready to experience… Activation Land: The EMS Partner Experience.
Step inside and explore, play and imagine the possibilities. Discover new event technologies. Find the right production partner. See the latest experiential products and tools in action. Get inspired and make connections that will elevate your next event.
Just a few of the sights and experiences at this year’s Activation Land:
FUN AND GAMES
Stop by The Highmark Hub Block Party for sweets, treats, manicures, drinks and a little competitive corn hole.
TASTY SNACKS
There are treats lurking around every corner in Activation Land. Grab one of our “Snack Attack Maps” and we’ll show you the way.
NEW IDEAS
Grab a pair of headphones and join us for one of our private, curated “TechTours” of all the most cutting-edge technology partners in Activation Land.
LOCK IN YOUR PRESENCE.
Don’t fall behind the competition… join them. 100+ partners will be sponsoring and exhibiting at EMS this year in front of experiential marketers with billions worth of event spending and budgets. As a sponsor/exhibitor, you’re guaranteed to connect with your target buyers—and turn those connections into leads and business.
CONNECT WITH EVENT INDUSTRY POWER BUYERS.
Sponsor a keynote, wellness activity or happy hour. EMS is attended by brand-side marketers from both b-to-c and b-to-b companies, as well as senior executives from leading event and experiential agencies. See a sample of past attendees HERE.
SHOWCASE YOUR PRODUCTS.
Secure an exhibit booth and demo your technology, promote the launch of a new product or showcase your services to the entire industry. This is your face-to-face opportunity to “wow” attendees and show them what they’ve been missing at their events, conferences and trade shows.
CUSTOM ACTIVATIONS.
Have your own idea? Let’s work together to bring your vision to EMS. 50% of sponsors and exhibitors work with us to create custom programs for their budgets and goals.
Sponsorships and booths always sells-out. Be sure to lock in early for prime exhibit locations and high-impact activations. Interested? View the prospectus and contact Anna Lawler at alawler@accessintel.com or 203-852-5681 or Roarke Dowd at rdowd@accessintel.com or 770-362-8730.
