I usually go every other year - will be missing this year. One word to the wise for those who’re going for the 1st time: Every vendor there is going to want to scan your badge - unless you actually want to receive literally hundreds of sales calls, only let those whose product/service you’re genuinely interested in do so. Or, if you prefer, you could perform the same
“accident” I did last year …
There was this one particular phone # that some guy kept calling pranks to us from, after the 2nd one we caught on, but the first was for 8 pizzas (ouch). Now, I have no idea how it happened, but when I filled out my registration form for last years show, I somehow accidentally put his phone number down instead of mine. That poor guy somehow got all the calls that I didn’t want - I much prefer to have info mailed or emailed to me so I can study, compare, & decide when it’s convenient to me rather than when it’s best for some salesguy.
I’ll have to apologize to the poor guy next time he tries calling in a bogus order …
And to the salesguys who wasted time calling the wrong #, sorry, but I never buy anything off of a phone call anyway, so your time would have been wasted in any case regardless.
They should have a “Do not call” box you can check on the registration form right next to the space for your phone #
