IT MAY SEEM SILLY….
…but this list of things to know, remember, or bring will be very helpful on site:
- Extra Business Cards - It may sound obvious, but too often attendees don't bring a sufficient supply or forget them altogether! Expo Comida Latina is a tremendous networking opportunity - come prepared!
- Download the Show Specials - From the Expo Comida Latina website (http://www.expocomidalatina.com) and bring it with you to the Show so you won't miss any of the specials being offered on site by exhibitors or the great networking events.
- Make Appointments in Advance - Having a pre-sent schedule and sticking to it will help reduce the time you spend trying to get to the right individuals at busy booths. Plan you trip pre-show by using My Show Planner.
- Wear Comfortable Shoes - You'll be on your feet most of the day(s), and while we provide as many lounges and seating areas as possible, comfortable shoes are your best defense, particularly those with substantial soles or low heels, to cushion your feet from the concrete floors just below all the carpeting in the Exhibit Hall.
