10 Cotton Candy Tips for Any Trade Show Newbie

Cotton candy tips are fun, tasty, sticky bits of wisdom with marginal nutritional value.

1. Be nice to the labor. They can solve most problems or create migraine-inducing headaches. The Golden Rule applies until they piss you off. When they do, contact your I&D labor provider or show management. Also remember that the labor guy or gal in your booth didn’t write the hall rules. If you disagree with the rules, contact your I&D labor provider or show management.

2. A trade show is neither a vacation nor a death sentence. Although it may feel like a death sentence during teardown.
Breath mints are more valuable than gold or platinum at a trade show.

3. Comfortable shoes are more valuable than breath mints, unless you are wearing comfortable shoes and chatting with someone who clearly needs a 3 lb. breath mint. More.
