One booth. One weekend.
16 meetings.
The Portland Retro Gaming Expo is where arcade operators, publishers and press are in one room. I ran our outreach before the show and filled the booth calendar, then demoed on the floor.
Trade shows are expensive. Empty booths are worse.
A booth only pays for itself if the right people come to it on purpose. Luxodd had booth 724 at PRGE 2026 and a new cabinet to show. My job was to make sure the weekend produced conversations we could close later, not just foot traffic.
I treated the show like a campaign with a deadline.
Book the room before you enter it.
Build the target list
Exhibitors, prospective partners and media, in three separate outreach tracks, each with its own message.
Reach out early
Outreach in the weeks before the show, so people arrived with a slot already booked.
Fill the calendar
16 meeting arrangements across sales, partnerships, media and product feedback.
Demo on the floor
Mega Cat’s licensed game ran live on a Luxodd cabinet for players, partners and press.
Follow up fast

like a campaign with a deadline.”
