QA Distributor Asks: From people who have attended before, should I prioritize the education session day or skip it if I can’t do all of the days? Any advice on attending? Education is always beneficial, if I can fit it in. For me, skucon is the best education day. It’s the Sunday before The PPAI Expo begins and has some of the most progressive and innovative education in the industry. The PPAI Expo show floor is massive and requires pre-planning to optimize your time. I spend all three show floor days exploring with my preferred suppliers and learning about new products. If you elect to stay at Luxor or Excalibur, note that they have shuttles to drop you off at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Have a great Expo! NENETTE GRAY Owner Lemonade Creative Marketing Baton Rouge, Louisiana PPAI 468267, D1 I would look at the education and see if it makes sense. At the show, I always start with the new products pavilion and then go to the suppliers’ booths that have the most relevant stuff to what I think my customers are going to be interested in. I try to avoid suppliers who come into our office to present and focus on those that I don’t get to see outside of the shows. I also would spend time in the smaller booths around the perimeters … always some good nuggets there.
