Did you know... studies have consistently shown that attendees at trade shows actively seek novelty and innovation. According to a survey conducted by the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR), 81% of trade show attendees have buying authority, and their primary motivation for attending is to discover new products and services. This underscores the importance for exhibitors to showcase innovative offerings to capture the attention of potential customers and drive engagement at trade shows. #ExhibitorSource #TheArtofInfluence

Taking photos at events I attend is definitely something I need to work on 😅 I can't believe SaaStr Europa is over, I'm sitting back at my desk and I have no pictures to share from the Tobbacco Dock itself (and it was very much a picture worthy venue). Maybe I can count on Siphesihle Hlela (He/Him) and Karol Wojtaszek? 🤳 If I remember correctly, we took some photos together during the conference. My feed is currently flooded with pictures of other attendees, some of whom I had the pleasure of chatting with in person, some I sadly missed. But the overall consensus is: SaaStr Europa was a fantastic event, full of invaluable insights on the direction of the industry and some of the most pressing challenges faced by SaaS companies in 2024. I won't summarise all of the lessons learned in just one post, but you can expect me to share some of my thoughts and learnings over the next few days. But some key takeaways include: ☑ The whole industry is under stress, funding is a lot more difficult to receive, so it's more important than ever to focus on profitability, as the next financing round might not be coming any time soon. ☑ High velocity in product teams has a higher priority than in the past. There is a lot of pressure on development teams to deliver more value with fewer engineers. ☑ Keeping Product-Market Fit can be as challenging (if not more) as finding it, as once you've found it, there will be a lot of stress from external stakeholders that could distract your core team from the actual mission and value prop. ☑ It's more crucial than ever for marketing and sales teams to work together in a tight-knit collaboration - AI tools can automate a large section of demand generation process. ☑ Many businesses are still looking for ways to implement AI in their operations, but their not sure how to do it. Fellow SaaStr Europa attendees - what were the most important take-aways from the conference? Let me know if I missed something crucial in the comments! 💬
