Know your objectives
What's your goal for attending? Are you looking to compare different solutions or check out new tech that could boost your business? Maybe you want to expand your network or find new partners. Keep those goals in mind when making decisions at the event!
Set up meetings in advance
Avoid long waits by scheduling meetings with popular vendors in advance for more productive conversations. And remember—wear comfortable shoes! With over 800,000 square feet of exhibit space at the crowded Javits Center, getting around takes time. Plan your schedule wisely.
