On the Road and a Shoestring

According to EXHIBITOR’s 2010 Economic Outlook Survey, 33 percent of exhibit managers plan to cut staff travel/lodging costs in 2010. At best, this means sacrificing comfort and convenience; at worst it means an insufficient and travel-weary booth staff.

Trade show road warriors all know that travel these days is both trying and tiring. Airlines routinely overbook flights, and most charge absurdly high fees for checked baggage, pillows, blankets, and on-plane food. People still have a right to be reasonably comfortable when they travel, but it’s getting tougher all the time, given the need to continue squeezing corporate pennies.
