Once you return from a tradeshow, it’s easy to want to kick up your feet and relax. After all, you’ve been working hard for months to make the show the best it can be. But before you take a break, do these seven things:

TradeshowGuy Monday Morning Coffee, December 14, 2020: Peter Shankman
It’s been a couple of years since I checked in with author, keynote speaker and consultant Peter Shankman, and I was delighted when he said he would be glad to speak with me. I was curious how his business was going, how he was working with clients on how to move into 2021, and of course I was curious to learn how New York City was doing. An eye-opening and salty interview:

TradeshowGuy Monday Morning Coffee, October 19, 2020: Anders Boulanger
There are hundreds of thousands of event, tradeshow, and conference-related jobs that have gone by the wayside, at least temporarily, while the pandemic sidelines all of those shows. But of all of those jobs, it would seem that if any type of job could find a way forward, it would be the creative types. The writers, speakers, performers. After all, even though they’d love to have an in-person audience, it’s not that hard to translate what they do to a screen. Whether it’s a Zoom show, a webinar, or a pre-recorded bit, performers and entertainers, such as the Infotainers supplied by Anders Boulanger’s Engagify company are doing their best to stay busy.
