Essential Tips and Advice for Attending

tips and advice. This is the one that I really want to go over. Leave very early the day you want to attend the event because traffic and congestion going in can be kind of difficult to navigate around. Plus, it's going to take you depending on where you're coming from an extra 15 minutes to 30 minutes just to get into the door if you are trying to get there at opening. So allocate enough time that you can get there without missing anything. And remember, it's 700,000 square feet plus 20 additional acres outside. That's a lot of ground to cover. And you can't do that all in one day and actually see everything you want to see. So you're going to probably be intending the event multiple days in a row to really digest everything that they have to offer. Another bit of advice, bring some rain gear. It has rained in the past while you're attending the event and the rain actually makes the outdoor events even more fun. I mean, who doesn't like playing in the mud? I'm serious. The rain is can be awesome and just helps cool the event down. But if you don't have rain gear, well, that's a different story altogether. Now, another bit of advice I can tell you is if you are the owner of a company, bring your top guys with because they're going to learn a ton. Guys, it's not just eye candy. It's knowledge. It's education. It's training. You come away from this thing so enriched just from being in attendance to the event that these guys, your top guys will be able to share that throughout the entire year. And speaking of that, networking. Networking is a huge opportunity. You get to meet with YouTubers, business CEOs, you get to meet with other companies that may be working in your area. The networking alone is worth the entire event. This is a collection of the greatest tools and innovations, plus people that you could possibly meet. I'll tell you straight up, I love looking at the tools, but the people I love even more. It's you guys make this show rock. But bring your business cards. You're going to want to be able to pass those out so when you meet those people, they have a way of reaching back out to you. There's nothing worse than meeting somebody and not having a way to follow up with it. So, make sure you bring your business cards and you're going to collect a ton of swag. So, bring a bag for your swag. It's literally that bad that you It's not bad, it's good. I I still have swag from 3 years ago. The swag is awesome. Well, you may even be able to pick up a swag…
