After 30 Years in the Exhibit Industry — Kevin Carty
On July 8, 1994, 30 years ago, I was offered a job by a friend (now my brother-in-law) to work for his father’s new business.

Trade Show Attire: What Not to Wear
Trade shows are all about making a good impression, so what exhibitors wear matters. However, “What to Wear” is often the last checkbox on their trade show checklist. But it shouldn’t be.
