Well worth the time and money to attend.
I definitely recommend going back to eTail. I liked the coziness of feeling like the venue was packed and hopping. We had quality people stop by and really took the time to want to know what we do and how we can make them money. The organizers emphasized sharing with the retailers that without the exhibitors, the event wouldn't be possible. Also, thank you for allowing the exhibitors to attend the sessions. One of the events I attended didn't allow exhibitors to join or limited badges, which doesn't work well when exhibitors have to trade-off being in the booth. The venue was outstanding—warm, beautiful, and welcoming. I've been to very few events where the food was the star of the exhibit. All I can say is WOW; I came home 10lbs heavier with a smile. Well organized and friendly. The evening mixers were fun. I can't wait to be at eTail East.
