When I tell my friends I have to spend time in Las Vegas for a trade show every year, the reaction is typically a sarcastic, "yeah, you
have to go, must be terrible for you". The truth is while I love the weather there in October, and there are some great restaurants, the whole "what happens in Vegas..." thing isn't really my speed. I'd just as soon be here doing work and enjoying things locally.
That being said, what brings me back to the
International Fastener Expo (RIP - National Industrial Fastener Show) every year, is the chance to spend time with principals and fellow sales representatives, and to see customers in a more relaxed atmosphere. Its the ability to meet new people and reconnect with industry friends that makes the time and expense worth while.
This year's show is Wednesday October 31st and Thursday November 1st. Three of our principals are exhibiting this year- see below for more details.
If you are coming, please stop by and say hello.
Safe travels everyone.
