the most important thing to bring with you is one or two good pairs of walking shoes, as you enter most shows you will be directed to a registration section and all your questions will be answered.the bags will appear with a variety of different sponsors names on them, fill them up as you go from booth to booth and usually at the end of the aisle will be a drop off point, put your name or number on the bag and the valet will drop them off at your $2.00 box for you. The boxes are usually big enough for two catologs side by side, so they hold alot and weigh a ton. The idea is to fill them up neatly at the end of the day slap some tape on them and ship them home, that way when you get home the boxes arrive and you can go through them and say to yourself, where did this come from? why do I have this? what the hell was I thinking. DO NOT BE OVERWELLMED, there will be lots of people and the size is daunting for a first timer, take your time, see what you can, don't worry if you can't get to see everything, and above all be considerate to the people manning the booths, you will get pushed out of the way by some who think they are special, but don't be offended, just wait your turn to speak with booth personel, they will try and get to you asap, but remember that they speak to so many during the day. so enjoy the experience and learn. | ||
