Trade Shows

I just remembered that when I was  working in New Jersey I attended a lot of trade shows as an exhibitor.  I was the person in charge of the company’s trade show exhibits.

Now that I think about it, setting up and tearing down the trade show exhibit was kind of fun as this was the time all of the exhibitors got to know each other. We saw each other at our worst (because setting up the exhibits was hard and often frustrating work).  Back in those days, the exhibits were very heavy and came packed in several boxes.  No matter how many times you had put the booth together, you still needed the instructions.  Nowadays, all that has changed.  Trade show exhibits are now so much easier to set up, tear down, pack & ship.  In addition to all this, the exhibits I used to put together were heavy…..very heavy….shipping charges were very high.

I don’t know why all this came to me today, but it did.  I guess it was because I was at a hotel this morning and saw exhibitors setting up their booths and it reminded me of how I used to do the same thing.
