Stand and deliver
While listening to a presentation on how to make the most of exhibitions, we were reminded of how soul-destroying it can be to man the stand for days on end.
Not least because there’s a fair chance that when the day ends, you find yourself in a chain hotel, sharing a room with 2,000 leaflets and a box of stress balls.
As the exhibition season kicks off in earnest, we’d like you to share your most distressing or embarrassing conference and exhibition moments with us.
At the IT Security Show at Earl's Court in the Spring, a colleague and I were strolling down the middle of the walkway between stands, as always trying to avoid the eye of predatory salespeople when...
A scantily clad, er, temporary sales executive jumped out in front of us with the words
"are you interested in penetration testing?"
My colleague tells me that the cleaners made quite a good job of getting the coffee out of his suit.
