Comfortable shoes, a game plan to see what you are serious about and an easy going attitude about a demo of your music on the disc you bring, I see folks get mad when they cant listen to 8 songs in a row...........like the guy is the only one at the show. A pen to jot down new music you are surely going to be exposed to is also a good idea. Last I would add not to grab literature your not really interested in for two resons, first it piles up quick and its a hassle to lug around, second that stuff costs those guys alot of money so dont waste it. Those are my thoughts after a few shows under my belt.
Tips for a First-Time Show Attendee?
I just confirmed my attendance at RMAF 2008, which will be my first audio show despite being in the hobby for over 10 years now. I haven't booked hotel or made any other arrangements yet, nor do I really know what to expect other than hearing a lot of different equipment.
What tips would you veterans give us newbies? Advice on any aspect of the experience (saving money, transportation/logistical issues, how to meet people, what is to be learned and how to learn it, how to assess gear - you name it) would be very appreciated.
