Kaci Bledsoe ~ Momentum Management Tip #19:  It's a good idea to pack two inventory lists with the booth so that all pieces and parts are accounted for at the install AND at the dismantle.  Furniture items often get scooped up by the show labor or a furniture rental company before the dismantle even begins.  An inventory sheet is just a quick and easy way to make sure all things are accounted for when both installing and packing up the booth.  Rena Patton - Exhibit Options     Tip #20: At your next event, have an additional power drop placed in your conference room or by  your reception counter and offer attendees a place to charge their mobile devices while you meet with them. Chargers for the major brands like iPhone, iPad and blackberry are inexpensive and can be easily packed with your display materials. This creates an excellent opportunity for you to spend a little extra time talking up your product lines while the attendee gets a quick charge, and is shown great customer service!"
