The Trade Show Guy is on site at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas for the latest edition of the Exhibitor’s Show.

Networking, education and all things exhibits and events takes place this week. Today starts the formal classes (many started yesterday with some introductory classes) and events. Read More...

If you are attending the 2010 Exhibitor’s Show in Las Vegas later on this month (March 14-18), drop me a line or give me a call. Maybe we can connect.

I’ll be reporting from the classes and events via this blog and it’s brother (The Relentless Networker). Let’s compare notes and maybe share project ideas. Read More...

OK, Lee Knight and company in Rochester–what’s with flooding my mailbox with advance literature?

In the past week I have received no less than four Exhibitor Show guides, two in one day yesterday. Now, I really do intend to register and go to this event, but I really only need one book. Read More...

It’s that time again: the Exhibitor’s Show in Las Vegas.

Not one to hype things, I do have a soft spot for this event. You can be certified and network all in one place–and that place is Vegas, the ultimate trade show city. Read More...

TSEA’s annual TS2 event opens in Chicago today. If you are an exhibit manager and you haven’t heard of this organization, take a look at the reports from The Windy City and consider keeping up with these folks.

The Trade Show Exhibitor’s Association has been around for years and was my first exposure to a group doing what I did. Being a 3D communicator in an internal marketing communications group led by 2D people made me a bit of the odd guy out.

It’s coming around again–the Exhibitor’s Show in Las Vegas.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year, but the package (actually, the latest one) came in the mail yesterday. It was like Christmas for exhibit people–lots of options for training and interaction. The crowd who attend are really a who’s who of the trade show and exhibit industry, both from the supplier and the customer side. Read More...

OK, it’s slow and it seems there is nothing to do. Well, quite the contrary, get out the calendar and let’s do some planning.

Each trade show program and calendar are unique, but many milestones are common. When is your keystone show? That is, what are the two or three large shows that anchor your calendar and help you shape your planning and revenue (and sales)? Let’s try a few examples: Read More...

This was a great time spent. Spent with colleagues, friends and acquaintances talking and learning about an industry and work we believe in, love and respect.

It gave me the opportunity to reconnect. Thanks, Joel, Steve, Skip, Jeff and others for taking the time to converse. Renewing friendships and connections are incredibly important in this industry, as it is elsewhere. Read More...

Remember what I said a few posts back about a “professorial” presenter being the only one? I was mistaken. Ed Jones was by far the most academic guy I’d encountered at this event. But justifiably so: he earned a BFA and then was educated as a finance person, majoring in statistics.
