How much time for tci tradeshow?

[Gareth's Tree]

I think I am going to try and go to tci this year. If I am just doing the trade show should I plan on two days? I like to browse and talk, but was wondering if I would be better off book a hotel and giving myself a second day?

Two days

Meeting friends for dinner and the evening is a lot of fun too

I can walk the floor and see everything I need to see in a day. I don't have quite the notoriety as Tom so I can move faster through the crown not having to sign books, boobs, and babies like he does. It's fun. It's nice to have the option to go back again or not so i'd say give yourself a hotel night after day one.

2 days for sure. One to see stuff and one to go back and actually look at the stuff that stuck in your mind over night. You also need time to see some of the demo's and seminars. Great event to see stuff and mingle with other like minded people. Although I am not going this year, the last 2 were a blast.

I agree with the above, I go for three days and wouldn't do it other. I go for the ceus though. I also agree with frank I walk through it all the first day the second day I visit in depth with the companies I care to. The third is finalize deals and visit.

Depends on how much eatin and drinken you intend to do too...

I book all three. I do the seminars to learn a bit. Check out the show for hours. Mostly to be around people like myself. One thing is when you see a piece of gear, some one there has used it and can give insight that the company selling it can't. A wealth of knowledge is roaming around the floor. I learn more from BSing on the floor than any class that is offered. It's a good time.
Magnum783 taught me to align the stars to open the akimbo while we were sipping on some soda pops last year. Plus you get a chance to meet some buzzers
Oh I intend to do some drinkenwhile I'm there. Actually hoping to have a beer with J D. We live to close to each other to not have a beer together.

I'm hoping to schedule all three days in this year. It sounds like the business track this year is going to be pretty solid. If you are just going for the show floor, its gotta be 2 days. One to look around, scope out where things are and collect information and the second to spend all your money! Plan it like a trip to the casino, only take a little money in because you will leave with none (but you will probably have some cool stuff).
