I was surprised by how
much fun it was to travel
the show floor after the
conference — so much
so I spent much longer
there on my second day
than I had intended: made
some useful connections,
re-established several
old relationships and
purchased some new
equipment. All in all a
successful show to attend.

As a first timer, I must say the show was very neat. There were a lot of interesting, innovative and
helpful products. There was a lot to look at and learn about...some were even over my head (mind
blowing!). I’ve only worked in the industry for a year and a half so this was a great experience!
