Business Event Types
There are many kinds of business events that can help you to connect with your audience and meet your targets. They all share similar characteristics since they all provide an environment for people to interact with each other by exchanging ideas and information.
Events can be held in-person, virtually, or in a hybrid environment and each has its pros and cons.
1. Tradeshow
A tradeshow can be a one-time event, or it may run over several days and involve multiple events.
Tradeshow exhibitors are usually businesses that sell their goods and/or services directly to the public at the event. Tradeshows are great for not only showcasing your products and services to a captive audience interested in your area of expertise but are also great for capturing leads, and meeting potential resellers, suppliers, or JV partners.
2. Conference
A conference is a meeting where people gather in a specific location to discuss topics related to their industry. These meetings often last for a few days, weeks, or even months.
Business conferences include keynote speeches given by world leaders in specific subjects, panel discussions, roundtable meetings, and workshops on technical topics such as marketing, finance, accounting, human resources, law, insurance, etc.
Conferences are typically held in hotels or convention centers, but large conferences can be housed in unique venues such as a theater or arena, or even on a cruise ship.
3. Seminar
A seminar is a presentation given by a speaker who has been hired to speak about a particular subject.
4. Webinar
A webinar is an online version of a traditional live seminar. Webinars allow people from across the globe to participate in seminars regardless of time or place. Unlike a traditional seminar, webinars do not require attendees to travel and attend face-to-face.
5. Meetup
A meetup is a social gathering organized around a common interest or hobby. People organize these gatherings through online platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. There are hundreds of thousands of meetups.
6. Sales conferences
The main purpose is usually to increase profits, but there is also a common goal in terms of building relationships with others.
7. Product launch
A product launch is a way to create awareness of a product before it's officially released. This type of event is often geared towards retailers or dealers, although it can be done B2B in a B2C context or even C2C.
8. Incentive travel
The main goal of incentive travel is to encourage employees to meet challenging business objectives to help increase sales. Often, incentive travel has been found to lead to better customer service.
9. Executive Retreat
Executive retreats are a great way to get away from work and have some team bonding time together. It can be scheduled during any season. Although they are typically used as teambuilding activities, companies use them to learn more about their customers.
10. Sales training
Sales training programs consist of lectures and hands-on experience using interactive training aids such as videos, case studies, role-playing, etc. The purpose of this is to improve sales techniques so that salespeople can improve their results and businesses can improve their profit.
When choosing the right type of event to host, consider your target audience and what they will gain from attending it. If you want them to learn more about your products or services, then look into hosting one-on-one meetings.

I enjoyed working with you and your wonderful staff.
…I wanted to thank you for your patience, time and of course, Tim Horton’s coupons at Christmas. I enjoyed working with you and your wonderful staff. …I was worried when Lynn left on mat leave. I couldn’t picture you finding a replacement that was as capable, as outgoing and as dedicated as her. But, you found Arlene, who is a real treasure. She has just been so wonderful, fun and just a delight to work with.
