Questex Wins 2023 UFI Digital Innovation Award for Q Activate Audience Data Platform

NEW YORK, July 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Questex, the leading information and event services company focused on the experience economy, today announces that it has been selected by the UFI Digital Innovation Working Group, consisting of experts in their field, as the winner of the 2023 UFI Digital Innovation Award.

As the global event industry increasingly recognizes that the future of the industry is inextricably intertwined with the application of technology, data and audience behaviors both at the event and throughout the year, digital innovators are going to be the winners.

Each year, UFI receives dozens of submissions, and finalists are chosen by the judging panel based on their ability to present innovative strategies that best demonstrate how companies can use technology to deliver measurable impact on a trade show’s performance as well as how these learnings can be implemented in the entire industry.

The 2023 UFI Digital Innovation Award topic is focused on digital innovations that deliver a business impact. As the global economy faces a recession, digital innovation needs to have a measurable impact on the event industry, either through improving the experience of visitors and exhibitors or the internal KPIs and business processes of exhibitions.

Questex’s submission focused on Q Activate. Q Activate is a proprietary platform that predicts trending topics and behaviors and activates vertical market expertise to engage event and media audiences year-round. It’s a first-party data platform and strategy that extends across Questex – from connected media and event websites to audience and product development – ultimately delivering real results to customers. 

“The submissions from the group of finalists were truly exceptional, we are extremely honored to be recognized as the winner of the 2023 UFI Digital Innovation Award. Q Activate is an audience first strategy that touches every part of our business – from leadership through to our marketing and data teams to our product development and sales teams. This truly means a great deal to our entire company,” Rhonda Wunderlin, Senior Vice President, Performance Marketing, Questex.

Q Activate in action: The Questex Hospitality group launched The Hospitality Show in partnership with the American Hotel & Lodging Association. Industry interest and support was strong for the inaugural event, with all of the major brands signing on to sponsor including Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton, IHG, G6, Best Western, Choice, Wyndham, Red Roof and DirecTV. With just a six-month selling cycle, The Hospitality Show, which targets the entire hospitality ecosystem, was sold out with more than 3,500 attendees and 300 vendors. Q Activate gave Questex deeper reach into large target companies at senior levels.​

Questex competed against other industry leaders including Koelnmesse, IFEMA MADRID, August Robotics and DLG Exhibitions & Events (Group) Co., Ltd.

Questex will present its winning submission at the 90th UFI Global Congress in Las Vegas November 1-4, 2023, alongside the winners of the other 2023 UFI Award categories.

Questex’s Silverlinings and Fierce Wireless Partner with Huawei as a Thought Leader in 5G to Business and Private 5G Networks

DocuSeries features how next-generation technologies like 5G, cloud and AI are revolutionizing industries around the world

NEW YORK, July 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Questex’s Silverlinings and Fierce Wireless today announced they are partnering with Huawei, the company focused on bringing digital to every person, home and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world – in a series of video documentaries and digital content focused on insights into private 5G network trends and the use of 5G to empower traditional industries and solution providers.

In the first documentary video, Silverlinings Founder Steve Saunders, meets in Hungary with Huawei’s Tamas Boday, director of integrated solutions, to discuss how the company’s transformative 5G innovations at the East-West Gate Intermodal Terminal have ushered in a new era of reliability and safety for the rail industry. The East-West Gate (EWG) railway terminal project is the first application of 5G in the European railway industry and the technology’s high bandwidth and low latency has greatly improved the efficiency of container loading and unloading, enhancing the work environment of bridge crane operators.

“Using 5G for the installation at EWG was an obvious decision for this industrial application. We provided an outdoor ‘fit-to-purpose’ solution that delivers reliability, low latency and guaranteed service, which ultimately makes the terminal safer and far more efficient,” said Boday. “5G networks give industries a strong future – the risks are reduced, work becomes more efficient and the flow of information within technologies becomes much faster,” adds Boday.

EWG has recently celebrated its first six months of safe, uninterrupted, scheduled operations, according to Janos Talosi, CEO, EWG Intermodal. “We built this massive facility in just 14 months. We can now handle one million containers per year, which is twice the number of facilities on the boarder of Belarus and Poland,” he said.

In addition to the documentaries, Silverlinings and Fierce Wireless will syndicate a sequence of curated videos and feature articles as well as a webinar titled “Driving Industrial Digitalization in 5G Era,” presented live on July 25, 2023, and available on-demand afterward.
