The show is the biggest in the cleaning industry, but there are not many w/cing stands-mainly the larger firms so dont expect to see all the our suppliers there. They cannot afford the stand rents. It can be disappointing. But I aint missed one yet, I am going just in case I do miss something.
Its a pity that the forums cannot organise a stand so that we could meet each other, I have tried in the past to arrange meetings but failed. There are so many people, that saying "see you at the bar at 12 doesnt work,( to start with there are at least 2 )unless you know what everyone looks like, or wear silly hats. You have more chance at the w/cing stands.
At least at the fed show we are all from the same clan - oh and windex.
If you havent been to a show, take the day or two off, put it against tax and enjoy. It finishes at 5 prompt, the reps depart like rabbits.
Do your homework and start writing down what you want to know(take a camera) and dont come home till you have written the answers down. or it all goes over your head.
