If you're contemplating going to a large trade show, please consider the Event, too! What large trade show gives you lunch? None! You feel lucky to find a spot to sit on the floor to eat your $5 pizza slice with drink your $4 soda. No floor sitting at the Event, with all the comfy chairs and massive oak tables! Wander out thru the wall of french doors onto the tree-shaded balconey overlooking the stream, or rest in an adirondack chair in front of the Event Center while you eat your lunch and visit with like-minded nail techs (photos on my Facebook page). When was the last time you received a goodie bag of nail products at a large trade show? Never! You're shocked just to get a sample, and then it's usually of a hair product. What a let down!
