Mike did a nice job going through the list of items he needed to setup for a trade show:

"OK.....So now I've got two tradeshows under my belt. That makes me a grizzly old veteran compared to where I was a month ago :-) I know for me anyway, as the first tradeshow date approached, I sort of obsessed over the details of what to bring and was pretty sure I was forgetting something important. Well, the shows came and went and I'm glad to report that I pretty much covered all the bases from a logistics and gear point of view. I'd like to share my Tradeshow List with others so they can avoid this needless worry and focus on the important stuff."

• My favorite item ..... Duct Tape of course!
