Are you sure? You might be the last person who can answer this question honestly. It’s not that you don’t want to -- it’s that you can’t.
Let’s face it. After you’ve spent weeks, even months, planning, preparing and practicing your exhibit routine, you’re no longer objective. You’re too close to your work to see it as a stranger would.

What happens when it’s not the boss who’s away, but the employees? If you’ve packed up your sales team and shipped them across the country to a tradeshow, how do you know they’re performing up to your standards?
We all like to hope that professionalism and responsibility will carry the day. Employees who do a good job all the rest of the year will probably continue to do well in the tradeshow environment. It might be a safe bet -- but do you want to take chances with your company’s reputation?
