vanderweb, what I suggest is that you have your business cards everywhere you go. Make extra sure that anyone you meet gets one and make sure to ask for one from everyone. At the time it'll seem like alot of cards to hold onto but once you get back, you'll see that there's opportunities everywhere. My first show was in Quebec last year and I gave those cards out like there was some Ferrari being given if I replaced my pile with others' cards
) With that goal in mind, I made great contacts and lots of allies & friends.
