Make the most of your Photonics West 2014 experience

Gearing up for the biggest trade show of your sales year? We are, too. Many of our clients in the optics & photonics industry are exhibiting, hosting events, and presenting technical sessions at Photonics West. Personally, I have a week full of meetings, client support, speaking at an annual meeting, attending a market summit, and teaching two classes. Phew.

Tradeshows take a good chunk out of your time and budget, so I want to help you make the most out of your travels. Here are some quick tips to…

Sell more:

• Attend our 1-hour class on Inbound Marketing
• Participate in a roundtable with other companies, sharing best practices and secrets of their success
• APOMA annual meeting for members: Wednesday, 8:30 am, Intercontinental
• LFW Lasers & Photonics Marketplace Summit

Have more fun:

• Johnny Foley’s: The unofficial exhibitor lounge
• Yerba Buena Gardens: Best people watching without leaving the conference center area
• Annabelle’s: Great for lunch or dinner without trekking too far from the convention center

Of course, it’s San Francisco—the best people watching and music is on route to anywhere!
