Exhibit Smarter: A Step-by-Step Guide to Trade Show Success is a helpful resource for startups, small businesses, and corporate marketers who are preparing to exhibit at a trade show, but feel overwhelmed by the process and pressure.
* Fun Fact: You may recognize Robyn from some of the major trade shows she has worked with, like The SHOT Show, IMTS, and CONEXPO/CON-AGG. She has also presented educational sessions at ExhibitorLive, IMEX America, Connect Marketplace, and other industry events.
In this short video, Robyn explains why you might want to read this book and what you can learn from it.
Typically, the only way to receive feedback and advice from Robyn directly is to take advantage of the programs offered by a trade show organizer.
However, only 30% of organizers offer any education to their exhibitors (let alone strategic support) and we want to help as many startups, small businesses, and corporate marketers as we can...
Pre-orders make a huge difference in the visibility a book will have, so we have created some special packages (as below) where you can receive your copy of Exhibit Smarter, along with other perks, like direct feedback and one-on-one meetings with Robyn.
When you pre-order, you're not only helping yourself... you're helping us (and many other exhibitors) achieve our goals too!
When you pre-order one copy of Exhibit Smarter (below or via your favorite bookseller), you'll also receive early access to the audiobook (by the end of 2026)...

As soon as you place your order(s) with your favorite bookseller(s), come back to this page to let us know!
Upload your receipt(s) by September 28, 2026 and, then, keep an eye out for an email with access to your package benefits.
* There is no need to upload your receipt if you ordered your copy of Exhibit Smarter through this website - the link above is only for those who order via separate bookseller(s).
When you pre-order Exhibit Smarter, you'll receive exclusive access to the pre-order benefits listed above, including early access to the audiobook (which will not be available to purchase until 2027).
Also, you will be helping your peers and Robyn, as pre-orders are a determining factor in the visibility of a new book. The more individual pre-orders placed, the more the booksellers, libraries, and overall publishing community members will notice/share this book.
There are two ways to pre-order Exhibit Smarter:
Option 1: Go to your favorite bookseller's website (or store) to place your order directly.
At many* booksellers...
* Check with your favorite bookseller before placing your order to confirm the specific pre-order benefits available.
Option 2: Use the links above to pre-order your book on this website.
In addition to submitting the payment amount corresponding with your package, you'll be asked to share your preferences and address(es). Depending on your package, these questions may include:
Note: When you place your pre-order above, we'll do our best to process your book(s) through local bookseller(s):
No matter where you order, you're eligible for the benefits corresponding with the above packages!
Ordering through your favorite bookseller means you'd be eligible for loyalty credits and any other benefits that they offer. That said, it also means that you'd need to save your receipt(s) to upload here, if you'd like the benefits included in the packages above.
Ordering through this website means you don't have to do anything with your receipt because you'll receive your benefits automatically. We'll work with local booksellers to process your book(s) whenever reasonable.
* Note: One of the big factors in qualifying for a national bestseller list is obtaining individual orders through a variety of sources - if you've pre-ordered multiple copies via this website, they may come from multiple booksellers.
Either way, thank you in advance for pre-ordering Exhibit Smarter. It's a big help, no matter how you order!
Not a problem! When you select the package that includes all of the services you want, simply choose "share" or "donate" instead of "keep."
When you choose "share," that means you'll keep some copies for yourself and give some away.
When you choose "donate," that means you don't want to keep any copies for yourself or share them with your contacts. Instead, you'd prefer that we identify appropriate contacts to gift your extra copies to. We're working with charities, schools, and other relevant organizations to ensure every available copy finds a good home.
Although we are not tax professionals, our understanding is that, when you choose "donate" in your pre-order survey, your investment could be tax deductible as a business expense (because we are providing products/services to benefit your business), but not as a charitable contribution (because we are not a charity).
Alternatively, you could choose "keep" (to receive all of the books in your package) and then donate them directly to the charity of your choice after you receive them. This way, you would have a separate transactions to show (1) your purchase of the package (from us) and (2) your donation to the charity (from them).
Again, please consult your own advisor to confirm the best tax strategy for you, as well as any charity you'd like to support to confirm their status and if/how they'd confirm your donation.
Officially, we're planning to release the audiobook in the Spring of 2027. However, if you pre-order Exhibit Smarter, you can receive early access to the audiobook (by the end of 2026).
The TSSS Book Club is an eight-week program that gives you a sneak peek at the advice in Exhibit Smarter before the book is officially released and an opportunity to chat about it with your peers online.
Excerpts from the book will be "unlocked" on Wednesdays and Fridays in July and August. Discussion questions will accompany each excerpt so you can share takeaways and swap ideas with your peers asynchronously.
Online meetups (with time for peer-to-peer discussion and Q+A with Robyn) will happen at noon ET on July 21 (kickoff/orientation), July 28, August 11, September 1, and September 29.
* If you won't be available at the times listed above, don't worry - the excerpts/discussion questions are available on demand and the "teaching parts" of each meetup will be recorded so you can catch up at your convenience.
October 6, 2026 at noon ET
* If you won't be available to attend in real time, please feel free to send your questions to Robyn in advance; she'll do her best to answer as many questions as she can (yes, the Bonus AMA will be recorded too).
October 8, 2026 at noon ET
* Again, if you aren't available to attend in real time, no worries. You can work through the recorded material on your own and ask any lingering questions during your 1:1 call with Robyn.
This program will start the week of October 19, 2026. Please note that we will take the last week of this year off (the week of December 28th), so this program will wrap up in the week of January 11, 2027.
Note: In this program, our focus will be helping professionals, like you, set yourself up for exhibiting success in 2027. There will be a mix of "on demand" content, online meetings, and homework assignments to help you every step of the way.
Thank you for asking! Absolutely - here are a few ideas:
