Campfire Social Launches Exhibitor and Sponsor Engagement Platform IGNITE!

November 23, 2022

CampfireSocial, a private professional network designed for member-based or attendee-driven organizations to form meaningful connections, unveiled IGNITE!, software designed to strengthen industry relationships between exhibitors, sponsors and event organizers via a private networking platform.

Utilizing CampfireSocial technology, IGNITE! streamlines the engagement experience for exhibitors, industry partners and sponsors so they can network among peers directly, form strategic partnerships, identify other companies for cross-collaboration opportunities or joint responses to RFPs, establish referral relationships and more.

"Exhibitors attend events to convert attendees into buyers, but they also attend to form strategic partnerships with fellow exhibitors for lead generation and cross-collaboration opportunities,” said Erica Bishaf, founder and CEO of CampfireSocial. “The time is now to provide a year-round solution that allows our most valuable industry partners to cultivate these relationships, and IGNITE! is that platform."

CampfireSocial provides advanced data and analytics to an organization via a combined social media and e-commerce interface that generates continual stakeholder engagement. Leveraging this platform design, IGNITE! provides exhibitors and sponsors with:

  • Curated suggestions of the most valued strategic partners
     
  • Monthly onboarding webinars
     
  • Opportunities to search for partners to complement their business
     
  • Groups dedicated to their needs
     
  • A home to maintain relationships cultivated during events
     
  • Daily engagement with fellow industry professionals
     
  • Custom educational content
     

"The IGNITE! product is what many of us who exhibit at trade shows have always needed,” said Brian Arnone, Lead Advisor to EventHub, a sponsorship marketplace and management platform for live event organizers. “It eliminates the noise and keeps us focused on meeting and working with our partners to bring complementary solutions to our clients."

HERE, hosting responsible meetings and caring for our communities are top priorities. Through its 'Focused on What Matters: Embracing Humanity and Protecting the Planet' philosophy, MGM Resorts commits to creating a more sustainable future, while striving to make an impact in the lives of employees, guests, and the communities in which it operates. Water Stewardship Efforts MGM Resorts understands the importance of using water efficiently, especially in the desert destination of Las Vegas. Conserving water has always been part of the mission, but MGM Resorts has expanded its ambition into water stewardship. In 2022, MGM Resorts President and CEO Bill Hornbuckle signed the CEO Water Mandate—a UN Global Compact initiative mobilizing business leaders to advance water stewardship. MGM Resorts International was the first gaming company to take this important step. MGM Resorts replaced 200,000 square feet of real grass with drought-tolerant landscaping in Las Vegas. MGM Resorts pledges to reduce water withdrawal intensity by 33% by 2025 and by 35% by 2030. From 2007-2021, use of more than 5.6 billion gallons of water was avoided because of conservation efforts. Caring for One Another MGM Resorts’ Food Donations Program collects and preserves unserved food from conventions held at MGM Resorts properties, then safely donates to food insecure people in the community. Since the program’s launch in 2016, more than 3.7 million meals toward a 2025 goal of 5 million meals have been donated into the community. Donations include: Unserved perishable prepared foods from events Perishable unprepared food from MGM Resorts’ kitchens Nonperishable food items from minibars and warehouses The collaboration with Southern Nevada’s primary food bank, Three Square, has developed the infrastructure needed to safely collect, transport, and store food from MGM Resorts properties in Las Vegas, reducing food waste while serving the community. Fostering Diversity and Inclusion To MGM Resorts, a diverse and talented workforce is essential to success. By cultivating innovative strategies that consider multiple perspectives and viewpoints, the company creates an inclusive workplace culture that benefits its employees and community. MGM Resorts takes pride in being a welcoming home for veterans, individuals with disabilities, people from diverse backgrounds, LGBTQ+ community members, and more. This commitment to inclusion is reflected in the company's recruitment and hiring practices and its social responsibility initiatives. From the workplace to the community, MGM Resorts' commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion remains unwavering, and its efforts continue to create a more equitable and sustainable world for all. MGM Resorts understands its responsibility to contribute to the social and economic progress of the communities in which it operates. HERE, we embrace humanity.
