It always makes me wonder how people can say a show sucked or was unproductive. It truly is about what you make out of it.
People need to do their research about the companies that they want to meet, set up appointments, and know what their needs are so that they can get what they need accomplished at a show. Sometimes I parked my butt in one spot and stopped people as they were walking by and introduced myself. Othertimes I walked around and when I saw someone wearing a badge, I introduced myself. I was amazed tho at how some people reacted to me as if they were shocked that I spoke to them...isn't that what we're all there for? to MEET? NETWORK, create relationships, grow relationships, and SOCIALIZE???
My feet are sore from all the walking that I did. The show floor attendance was disappointing as it was a great set up and allowed for some great networking opportunities. I got a lot of great input and feedback from the exhibitors and sponsors. I have some great ideas to make the showfloor more productive for 2010 and the upcoming Miami show.
