Happy Hour Guide

    Welcome to the HAPPY HOUR GUIDE! Savvy exhibitors know that many business relationships begin at HAPPY HOUR, even before the trade show begins. An opportunity of a lifetime often presents itself in unexpected ways at HAPPY HOUR: in the buffet line, at the bar, or on the dance floor. It's very important for exhibitors to plan ahead for this opportunity to meet new prospects. Our HAPPY HOUR GUIDE is a humorous and helpful checklist to help you plan your next trade show, so you'll always be at HAPPY HOUR on time.
