When you’re producing a high-energy conference, one challenge always stands out: How do you create meaningful content experiences in the middle of a noisy exhibit hall?

At the Funders Forum + Brokers Expo last month, Sound Off™ wireless headphone technology provided the answer, unlocking a unique way to deliver focused, high-quality demos without sacrificing the constant buzz of the show floor.

Hosted by the Revenue Based Finance Coalition, this event brings together approximately 1,000 attendees each spring for networking, education, and industry insights. This year, the conference included something new: a dedicated demo stage right on the exhibit floor.

Positioned within the natural flow of attendee traffic, the demo area was designed to increase visibility and engagement, and glowing purple headphone LEDs helped attract interest.

With 20 to 40 attendees per session tuning in through Sound Off wireless headsets, presenters were able to deliver clear, uninterrupted software and finance-tool demos in an otherwise loud environment. Instead of competing with surrounding booths and conversations, each session became an intimate, focused experience where it was easy to ask questions and take in important information.

As the executive producer behind the Funders Forum + Brokers Expo, Jordan Starks manages every aspect of event execution — from logistics and budgeting to on-site experience.

A few months earlier, she had seen Sound Off wireless headphones in action at the Trimble Insight Tech Conference and recognized the benefits our tech could bring to the Funders Forum experience.

“It was the dream scenario — finding a vendor that delivers the same quality experience I strive to provide as an event planner,” Starks said. She was thrilled with our tech’s ease of use, the minimal lift for the A/V team, and the high level of service and quality Sound Off brought to the Funders Forum.

Following the success of this year’s demo stage, the Funders Forum + Brokers Expo plans to continue its use of Sound Off headphone technology at their spring 2027 conference.

What starts as a solution to a logistical challenge can quickly become a core part of the conference experience — proving that with the right immersive, noise-isolating technology, even the busiest exhibit hall can become a space for focused, meaningful engagement.
