None of the above!
Maybe a little distancing, but this is the south we are talking about here, sooo...๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
However, there are some vendors showcasing temperature screening and mask detection hardware / software so I have seen it just a little๐Ÿ˜‰

Call me what you want, just sign the damn contract
I'm back at it starting next month and I think I have 4-5 events before the year is out.

Nice!
Are the shows you're attending local to you, or will you also be traveling?

Yes. Weโ€™ve been going for the last month or so. Finally picking up. At least one a month for the rest of the year!

It actually feels good to get back out there.ย

It did feel good!
I didn't wear my trade show shoes and that part did not feel good, but overall it was great to be back!

Yes! Itโ€™s in Vegas, so itโ€™s always a bit of an endurance challenge. Our company has some minor travel scheduled before then, so Iโ€™m hoping to ramp up to it! Excited for you that your regional ones are back on, most of ours are still virtual. :(

AAH, Vegas. Our industry's biggest show is in Vegas next week. I'm missing it this year, but I'll likely be out there for it next year.

You got that right! I actually made some great connections yesterday and I have a good feeling that I came away from the show with a new customer and a couple of referral partners!!

I'm trying to figure out what shows to even go to. Our team is small and industries we can sell into are broad. Doesn't help that I am spread thin on what I have to do daily. I feel like I have no time to properly research. The shows I have found so far are mostly sold out because everyone is so eager to get back to shows.

If the industries you can sell into are broad, then you are in a strong position to bring a lot of value to some of the more obscure shows.ย 

Pick 5 and then look at the list of vendors exhibiting and narrow them down to 2-3 where you have the least competition attending and attack it that way!

I fucking wish.

I don't think I'll see anything until Spring of next year.ย

I feel like most of the shows will be limited capacity through the end of the year and will be nearly fully back next spring.

So over trade shows . Hate them. No one comes to the booth to see software anymore- maybe hardware - does anyone actually make money off tradeshows? Maybe Iโ€™m personally just over them. The enormous expense of them, the time suck and the sore feet. Lol

The sore feet and lower back were a real thing for me yesterday. I came away with a good feeling, but i was simply a regular attendee. I did not have a booth or anything to show, so my expectations were low.
