I am sure that sounds harsh, but it is so true. Your lack of preparation will greatly diminish any returns you might experience from the show. Or think of it in another light, you are aiding your competitors because you were not prepared. Can you afford that?
Preparation means that you are a well-oiled machine pumping out leads and positive press regarding your products and services.
