tradeshow vs roadshow

[Anonymous]

does anyone understand the distinction between these tradeshow vs roadshow programs?

we are having a private panel event with 200 attendees. this is an invite only event (people will register to attend via a marketo form).  I prefer to use the marketo event ipad app for ipad at the door to check them off as attended once they they enter the event (someone told me you can do that, havent tried this feature yet).  What program do i create for this? tradeshow? roadshow? also do you need to have an enterprise subscription of marketo to use the marketing event app for ipad? We currently have a standard subscription. Thanks

Roadshow is probably best, although Tradeshow should work. Both come with ipad event settings out of the box.

Download the ipad app and the instructions (quick search).

1. setup the program and dates of event
2. 7 days before event, ipad will pick up the info
3. configure a Role to have access to ipad events (usually good to be a separate Role in case you have contractors)
4. test it with a test program
5. have ipads ready and logged in the night before.

We use Roadshow most of the time.  We distinguish the two based on if it's an event (or sub-event at a major tradeshow) that our company is hosting - it's considered a Roadshow.  If we simply have a booth at an event and are capturing badge scans, we consider this a Tradeshow.  In our case, Roadshow are higher value, higher touch events.

I'm not sure.  We do have an enterprise account.
