Now think of your booth space, its lighting, and how hot it can get even in the coldest of trade show venues.

24 Hours to Showtime - Where is the Exhibit?

Every company that goes to a tradeshow has their own special story about "the time we lost the exhibit ... or the time there was no place to sit ... or the time the graphics came on the last day of the show."

If you're not involved with a trade group, find the associations that represent your industry. While you're contemplating trade associations, consider trade shows that cater to your customers' industry, rather than yours. That is called niche marketing.
