Hey RPF'ers!
I'm planning my 2013 trade show calendar, and DCon is a week after The Fan Expo here in Toronto, Canada.
For the last 8 years now I've been exhibiting at The Fan Expo 'exclusively', and not being able to do DCon the following weekend due to this short window between the two.
Looking ahead to 2013...Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA may be the way to go....but what to do about The Fan Expo?
On one hand I'm excited by the idea of exhibiting at DCon, but it would come at the expense of dropping Fan Expo, a fantastic Toronto show so it's right in my back yard...and I've been exhibiting there for 8 years straight now.
My problem is I have 1 trade show booth set up...and that set up would have to ship to DCon weeks before Fan Expo...and since DCon is a week after Fan Expo, I suppose I myself 'could' be at both shows...but I don't know that I want to put myself through that. Our model Mike and the awesome Liana K. could handle Fan Expo easily on their own, but I don't know if I'd have anything to display if splitting between these two shows....and it's too soon to know.
I used to go to DCon as an attendee in the early 90's and yes, it's an awesome and huge show...and I think after all these years it could be fun to return and see how it all plays out.
So, what to do?
Stick with The Fan Expo...or focus on Dragon Con? Doing both is probably not going to happen...so it all comes down to choosing one.
Love to hear your thoughts on this.
