How top ISC exhibitors measure success

Define your goals early — and build a plan to support them

For many companies, the decision to exhibit hinges on a simple question: Will it be worth it?

At the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference, the most successful exhibitors know that ROI isn’t just about leads. It’s about long-term value, relationship-building and positioning your brand at the heart of stroke and cerebrovascular innovation.

Here’s how top-performing exhibitors track and optimize their return on investment:

1. Quality conversations over quantity: In addition to badge scans, savvy exhibitors prioritize the depth and relevance of booth interactions. Did you connect with the right clinicians, decision-makers or researchers who influence purchasing or adoption?

2. Program and product recall: ISC is known for high attendee engagement, with 85% of attendees visiting the exhibit hall. Exhibitors who use their booth to reinforce messaging, launch new data or preview clinical tools often follow up with post-show surveys or digital retargeting to measure brand recall and interest.

3. Integration with marketing campaigns: Top exhibitors treat ISC as part of a larger campaign, not a standalone event. They use pre-meeting promotions, booth signage, satellite programs and follow-up tactics to tell a cohesive story — and track how each component contributes to brand engagement.

4. Thought leadership and credibility
Many exhibitors host programs like Learning Labs, present data or meet with KOLs — reinforcing their credibility as partners in stroke and cerebrovascular innovation. They track media impressions, content downloads or requests for follow-up info as signals of success.
