I know what you're thinking:  Summer's only just begun, why are we talking about autumn already?  But bear with me; you'll thank me later!

On October 17, 2012 in New York City's Javits Center, one of the Northeast's biggest business conferences will commence.  The New York Business Expo & Conference, aka the NY XPO, "is where the most profitable companies come to make decisions about their corporate growth."  The trade show, which caters to small and mid-sized businesses, is made up of five main components:  education, networking, meeting opportunities, comprehensive marketing campaigns, and attendees.

The two-day event will undoubtedly prove profitable for your business.  The goal is to help small and mid-sized organizations grow!

If you're looking to exhibit, click here.  Those expected to attend include government agencies, like-minded businesses, entrepreneurs, national media, and more.  Mark your promotional calendar today; this is one trade fair you don't want to miss!

I'm celebrating my 25th post on the Tradeshow Blog by writing about the 25th Annual Boca Fest. 

I've been to this annual street fair three times in my life. I find it very entertaining to see the sculptors, photographers, painters and other artists from the area showcase their work in the warm sun for the public to see and purchase. Art is all about breaking through standard forms so I love it when art can be displayed outside the four walls of an art gallery. 

Some artists had promotional t-shirts and promotional calendars with their designs - this happened to be my favourite because they were inexpensive prints that had another use besides looking great.

Although I can't make the trip down for Boca Fest this year, the details are as such: Saturday, January 14 and Sunday, January 15 2012. Admission is free for all.
