Trade shows are an important part of our industry. Some wonder if there are too many. Others question what the value of attending shows really is.
We address trade shows in the article below and ask for you to share your opinion. Recently PPAI announced that the PPAI Expo will be opened up to end users on the last day. This has led to a flurry of comments in forums around the industry. Is this is good idea or a bad idea?
We just returned from the ASI Show in San Diego and filmed some interesting video.
We invite you to view the "special edition" From the Desk of Jeff Solomon video featuring an interview with Mark Graham and Bobby Lehew.
Industry icon ASI Chairman Norman Cohn talks with Entrepreneur of the Year, Mark Graham and we offer one of our popular 10 in 10 videos from the show floor. Here we share 10 product selling ideas in less than 10 minutes. Gain an advantage by seeing what's hot!
You will see the "dark side" of promotional products trade shows in a "dark" video we shot from the AddVenture Products party on the roof of the Andoz Hotel. Education presenter Tonia Allen Gould shares a branding tidbit and you will see how crazy some of us are.
Tomorrow is "Happy Hour Friday on our Facebook Page (Because It's 5 O'clock Somewhere)." Each Friday we encourage you post whatever you like. It can be serious, funny, videos, insightful quotes, business horror stories, supplier promotions...whatever! The best post wins an iTunes card.
ANYTHING GOES! POST FRIDAY!

There are few topics in our industry that stimulate more lively discussion then trade shows. Are there too many? What do you really get out of them? What will you miss if you don't go? And the question that seems to be hotly debated recently, should industry trade shows allow hosted end-users to attend?
