Choose priorities before arrival
Identify a handful of must-see layouts, demonstrations and specialist traders. This gives the day structure without turning it into a rigid timetable.
Leave time for conversation
The most useful ideas often come from speaking with layout operators and demonstrators. Ask what worked, what they would change and which materials proved reliable.
Record useful references
Keep notes about products, techniques and club contacts. Add the event to your calendar and save relevant directory listings for later.
