    TRADE SHOWS and WHEELCHAIRS Trade shows are hard work, and even more so for attendees who may use a wheelchair. For some, the chair may be new and temporary but for most attendees, it is where they live.

    Here are six tips for making life easier for everyone on the show floor ....

    1. Well, let’s just be honest. Those folks in the chairs know that they are in the chairs. It’s your responsibility to make them as comfortable in your space as any other visitor. Quick no-no or two -- don’t gawk -- don’t ask stupid questions -- don’t raise your voice (they have a leg problem, not an ear problem). If you have a genuine interest, most folks will tell you their story quickly.

    There is no doubt that one of the best ways to network is through volunteer work. Volunteer work puts you in a position of respect and value in the minds of those that not only run the volunteer programs or are seeking volunteers as well as those that

    A little thinking before the show can save a lot of woe at and after the show.
