The Uprising
Tradeshow Enthusiasts Ride Again!

IT'S BEEN A WHILE. Some of you will remember us (with a smile we hope). Others may be wondering what it is. Tradeshow Blues emerged in the spring of 2002 during another difficult period... that one following the 911 tragedy. Things weren't too good then either.

We showed up just in the nick of time with an attitude and a mission noting that there was no requirement to be serious, only responsible... and from there, we proceeded to shake things up, question the conventional and have a few laughs.

So... here we are again. The economy stinks. People have lost jobs. We’re all wondering when we’ll recover and whether we'll make it until then. To ponder these issues with a positive attitude, a smile or two, a little historical significance and an off-beat look at the world of Tradeshow Enthusiasts... we give you… Tradeshow Blues 2009.

In the days and weeks to come (which will turn into months, quarters, years, decades and centuries), we’ll be adding to the fun... as well as thought-provoking content and commentary you should only expect from Tradeshow Blues.

What's Happening Right Now?
 

Going Down the Path to Wallism

Once again it’s time to think Wall, walk Wall and be Wall… and so we’re happy to introduce the brand new, just created, extraordinary… Tradeshow BluesWallThe New Official Wall of Tradeshow Enthusiasm.

BluesWall

It’s like no other… just like us. A new advancement in strategic Wallogistics. Let’s face it… we are definitely going down the path to Wallism… but unlike those other nasty “isms”, Wallism won’t force you to do anything. You won’t be taxed. And you won’t be labeled right or left.

Be a Certified Tradeshow Enthusiast

Looking for more letters after your name? Or… just better letters? Think of your new business cards… Billy Don Jones, CTE. Or… your next introduction at a high-profile speaking engagement at a chamber of commerce mixer. Or… your name on a roster with others who probably (and most likely) will not have such a prestigious designation.

CTE

That’s right… soon you’ll be able to apply for and receive your official Certification in Tradeshow Enthusiasm from the innovator, Tradeshow Blues.

Have you Spilled the Beans?

For years, Tradeshow Blues was the most popular source for people news in the tradeshow and event industry with its totally unique approach to coverage of the movers and shakers (which we would never, ever call them) in Spill the Beans.

Today, we’re happy to announce that Spill the Beans is back and we’ll be covering the folks of today as well as offering up a few flashbacks from years gone by… and yes… we’re still looking out for Ben. You do remember Ben, don’t you?

Send Us Your Shorts!

For years we asked you to send us your Shorts… your company news and blurbs that were of interest to tradeshow enthusiasts. We took those nice little releases, rubbed them out and polished them up… and then we told our audience where they they could get it… which was, of course… in the Shorts.

Don't be Anti-Social

Hey... it's seven years later. Everything is different... as it should be. Change is a lot like cheese... go figure. Anyway, we'd like you to know about the various ways you can now stay connected, informed, amused, confused, deleted and undone.

Tradeshow Blues... of course. A good place to start. But you can also catch us on...

Facebook... Our fan page is calling. Drop in while you're next door unless you're on...

Twitter... You can follow us (along with millions of others) and collect a whole variety of 140-character tidbits that will whet your taste buds and force you to pull off the road and stop for lunch.

What's Next?

Wow... what a great question. Hang on while we get out our crystal ball... oh, uh... sorry... we pawned it. It was real crystal and worth a few bucks.

Picture this... Just like in the Twilight Zone... someone like... uh... Ben Nazario walks in, buys the thing and realizes he can see the future. The plot thickens as Ben sets out to fix and save the world by fixing all the things that need to be saved. And so on...

Suffice to say... we're not sure (sort of) but we can assure you that that it will be worth your time (and money should you decide to become a Wallist) and your days will be less blue... even though we are... Tradeshow Blues.
