SEARCHThe next big tradeshow on my calendar is Orlando, where will you be next?
Did you make it to ABS Chicago this year? I did and I got to see the show from a different perspective. Instead of being in the booth, I was in the CND classroom. It was interesting to see the difference in set up and how things ran throughout the day. I super appreciate all those that came down to say hi as well as take the classes!
There was also a photo booth in the hall on the way to the classroom and I am an absolute sucker for a photo booth! No matter how you feel about photos of yourself, you have to love a photo that is meant to be funny and even terrible, right!?!
I noticed the show floor plan still had the nail booths scattered about. If you walked the floor, did you find nail booths easy to find? Another great thing about hitting a trade show is seeing industry friends you wouldn’t normally run across in the course of your day. Whether it is fellow educators or other nail professionals, sharing a passion with others is a unique relationship and commonality. The next big tradeshow on my calendar is Orlando, where will you be next?
