Trade Show Packing List
If your planning your first trade show, you might feel a bit overwhelmed. So many things to do and remember. When packing for the show make sure you don't forget to bring or order the following items. Good trade show preparation could mean the difference between a good experience and a very bad experience.
1. sales literature & holders - we're not quite a paperless society, some attendees still like brochures
2. booth lighting & fixtures - nothing looks worse than a poorly lit booth
3. extension cords & power strips
4. bottled water - for yourself as well as attendees
5. Velcro - duct tape - for hanging graphics and taping down loose wires and cords
6. Windex - paper towel- displays need to be cleaned before and during the show
7. business cards
8. promotional hand outs
9. card reader
10. breathe mints - nothing like bad breathe to kill a conversation
11. plants - floral - used to hide extension cords
12. tool kit- nice way to solve quick fixes
13. computer,laptop, AV equipment
14. security guard - this way you don't have to pack up your AV/computer equipment every night
