Milliken partnered with Stratagon to maximize its participation at ABIM (Annual Biocontrol Industry Meeting) in Basel, Switzerland, the premier global gathering for the biocontrol industry, drawing more than 2,000 delegates from 65 countries and 800+ companies each year.

THE CHALLENGE

Conference attendance risked becoming a collection of disconnected meetings instead of a strategic business accelerator.

Milliken needed to increase its visibility in the global biologicals market, strengthen relationships with strategic partners, and build momentum around its agricultural technologies. But without a coordinated approach, a high-value event like ABIM could easily default to a checklist of individual executive meetings, each valuable on its own, but disconnected from a broader commercial strategy and difficult to act on afterward.

The challenge wasn't getting Milliken's team to the table. It was making sure every conversation at that table moved the business forward, and that momentum didn't evaporate the week after the show floor closed.
