shows arent all about biz and exchanging ideas.. One of the great appeal of the shows is to have fun. party... be with the people and meet them face to face and chill. Or meet new people and have fun with them.. Network, meet new people, get contacts, do biz and have fun..

Its not a study group, its a show.

I dont want my post to make people think that they need to be more serious at the shows and not have fun.. Im just saying some companies should be more responsible when sending thier reps to a show, and have policies that make it clear that its not acceptable to step out of line to the extent we see so many doing as of late.

I mean we go to the shows to have fun. Party, do biz, network and meet people. It should stay that way. Its why people go.

But harassment, assult, and bothering others to make them feel uncomfortable or even unsafe is a path we must avoid going down. And companies should establish policies and become more responsible with who they send to shows and thier objectives.
