Need vendors? For a successful trade show and happy vendors, we
have some recommendations: Offer a
two-hour reception with hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar in the
trade show area, typically from about 4-6 or 5-7 to kick off
your conference. On the next day, offer a two-hour block of time
(with no competing workshops) for vendors, perhaps after lunch.
Reliable high-speed Internet access is essential. Fifteen
minutes between workshops is inadequate for all concerned;
recent conference evaluations show that innkeepers are placing
an increasingly high value on vendor time. Feel free to contact
Sandy@BedandBreakfast.com or
Janice@BedandBreakfast.com for advice.
