Make Trade Show Travel Easier With A Few Simple Tips

Trade show travel is hectic, and it’s especially so when you factor in all of the preparations that need to be made long before the travel day approaches. A few simple tips can help to make trade show travel easier, so you can simply focus on making the most out of your appearance.

First and foremost, take care of your registration early. Waiting until the last minute is going to take away from your ability to choose a prime exhibit location, pick the perfect accommodation, and it may even take away your ability to register at all. Before booking a single ticket, register for the trade show and choose your accommodation wisely. Find a hotel close to the venue, and depending on how early you register, you are likely to find these accommodations at a much lower cost.

Once you’re registered and have booked your hotel, start looking into travel. Whether you’re riding or flying, booking early is always preferred. To save a bit from your budget, try flying in on a weekday instead of a weekend, and look into shipping options for your trade show exhibit items.

When you have your registration, your accommodation, and your travel booked, it’s time to start making lists and checking them twice. List out all of the items you’ll need for the trade show exhibit, for your exhibitors, and to make travel as seamless as possible. It’s these checklists you’ll turn to during those hectic days leading up to your travel.

Working with exhibit design professionals can be beneficial in your travel preparedness. Professional trade show booth designers will use their experience to design the perfect exhibit for your brand, while letting you know everything you’ll need to pull off the most successful appearance.
