Trade show managers are all too familiar with the chaos that builds up around trade show season. As the event gets closer, there’s always more to do, more to remember, and more to forget. That’s why we love handy checklists that include everything we need to remember to do.
To help get you started on your checklist, here’s a simple list of to-dos that every trade show manager needs to remember while they're at the show.
