How did you find the expirience?
Better than a flat tire, not as good as a week in Bermuda. See below.
Can you recommend any trade shows to attend?
For your interests, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas - and it's a business expense!
Where can i book a place for a trade show?
As a buyer or as a seller?
Do i need to have a business to attend a Trade Show?
Most do require a business license and/or tax account, as well as some additional proof you are really in business, like checks with the business name, letterhear or business cards, etc.
I attended one trade show in Las Vegas and thought I had reservations at the Tropicana. When my wife and I arrived around midnight, we were told we did not have reservations and since they had a large prize fight that night, there were no rooms. But they did give me the phone number for the MGM Grand, accross the street.
So, since we had let the taxi go, we ended up pulling our luggage across the street to the MGM. When I called they said they would hold a double for me, but when I got therre 10 minutes later the lady at the desk was downfallen. They had no doulbes, BUT if it was all right with me they would give me a sute at the doubles price.
I held out my right arm and told her to twist it, that would be the only way I would allow them to upgrade me in that manner. So, we got a small suite for $ 85 a night. But wait, it doesn't end there.
About 4 AM I got up to pee and there was a couple of inches of water in the bathroom. And there was water coming through the seam of the ceiling, right down the center of the bed, between my wife and I. I called the desk and they sent up a crew. Seems like someone fell asleep in the Jacuzzi in the room above. They said it happened all the time, that sometime people drowned.
So, they said they would move us to another suite. Except, they didn't have one. Then they said they'd move us to the Jungle Room. What a place. Top floor. 7 phones, a full kitchen, with a table that seats 6 or 8. 4 TV's, plus one in the bathroom that shows porn all day across from the 6 person Jacuzzi. Gold fixtures, robes, slippers, totally POSH.
Price on the door card said $ 1600 a day. We were there 4 days at $ 85 a day.
So, that was a good experience. The trade show wasn't much, but the accomodations were great.
