Default New and have a Tradeshow question

I am new and I am still in the very begining stages. I am trying to find out being new with no experience basically just starting out would I be allowed to attend a tradeshow?

Anyone have suggestions on how to get started?


Any help would be appreciated.

Usually yes. What type of show are you interested in. Will you just attend, or you want a booth?

I would just like to attend but not being a business yet I was unsure if they would allow me to. I have not researched it all the trade shows yet so not sure which one I would like to go to.

Tell us where you are and what your interests are and we can recommend some shows. Most trade shows are usually free to attend the exhibit areas, and do not prohibit anyone from signing up to attend.

A lot of people go to trade shows to find out about the business before they get started. We were just at ISS Fort Worth and met several people who were looking to learn and to find out what to buy. A trade show is a great way to do that.
