Best of Show at EXHIBITORLIVE 2023
Our GoBoldly experience won the Best of Show – Large Booth Award at this year’s EXHIBITORLIVE. We challenged ourselves to break through the clutter and establish Hamilton as a thought leader in experiential marketing – in other words – GoBoldly. Attendees experienced a live and on-demand demonstration of a working integrated event solution that challenged them to defy convention and raise expectations. According to the Awards MC and EXHIBITOR Group Senior Writer, "Judges weren’t wowed by Hamilton. They were stunned.” One judge commented, "It’s the one booth that’s completely impossible to ignore.”
