2009 ABC Show
We just got back from the 2009 ABC show in Las Vegas, the baby industry's big industry show for new products. In addition to our usual line we showed a couple new products, both of which were very well received. As usual, I'll post some pictures for you to weigh in on, but I also wanted to show some behind the scenes stuff from the show. I would have posted these from the show, but the Las Vegas Convention center charges $100/day for wireless internet access, so that wasn't happening.
Our booth was 2000 square feet. Some companies hire event management people to set up their show booths, but at Westwood we do it ourselves. Consequently, booth setup and tear down are the two most dreaded events on the entire calendar.
Everything (about 15 cribs, combos, hutches, and chests) shows up boxed, disassembled and on palettes. We have to unbox it all, assemble all the cribs, clean up, and decorate everything. This is what it looks like a day of work.
After another long day, it's pretty much finished. The empty boxes go onto storage offsite, and in a few days we have to do it all over again in reverse.
