This is what I have learned....the first seminar is at 11am, so wake up at 10:30 and just run some water over your head, throw on some shorts and a tee shirt and be downstairs in 25 minutes. After the seminars, hit the show area/lobby area/courtyard/pool or where ever people are gathering and start networking. Spend the afternoon making friends and money. At about 5pm head up to the room and take a 1-2 hr nap, get up, shower, get dressed up and head to dinner and the parties. At 2am start to think about leaving but make sure you are GONE by 3am (no, Robbie, you are NOT doing any REAL business after 3am...heheheh) so you get to sleep from 3am-10:30 and throw in your nap you are looking at close to 9 hours of sleep!! Then you can be like me with everyone coming over to you and going "How do you do it?". People are shocked when I tell them I have not done coke in over 20 years...they always assume that the only way I could be up at night AND in the morning is if I am snorting coke...and the reality is that when they start, I head out and go to bed.

Maybe I should write a book about hot to survive a trade show, huh? ;)
