Understanding Body Language at Trade Show Exhibits

To the educated observer, body language gives helpful clues about a person's mood and attitude. This can be useful in many situations, and is especially helpful at trade show stands. Exhibitors can interpret attendees' body language to determine how they might feel about different products and services at trade show stands, and exhibitors themselves need to be conscious of signals they might be sending off with their own body language. Being aware of all of these will result in a better trade exhibit experience.
