 I work trade shows and consumer shows for the video game / board game industry as a sales person / booth manager/ jack of all trades. Curious to hear from anyone working that same type of work in different industries or especially in the same industry? What is your work load like, how many conventions do you do a year? Does anyone actually pay Freeman 1500 to move two pallets 100 feet? I do about 15 - 25 conventions yearly, on the road maybe 100 days of the year, is this normal for your industry? More? Less? Just asking because I have been applying for jobs outside of my industry but I have no idea what the companies expectations will be. How are sales at your booth, what do you expect from a show? Whats your favorite show? For me I love the PAX shows, or Penny Arcade Expo, well done, good crowd, good vibe and generally pleasant booth neighbors.
