Default On Topic Sorta - Attending Trade Shows Frugally?

Become a member of the press. g

Harde-har-har...

The definition of "press" is kinda vague in my mind. Bloggers could be
press in my book.

If you're not a magazine staffer, and if it's an SME show, you contact the
press office and tell them you're working on an article or a book. They'll
ask for whom. You'd better know. d8-)


I wouldn't lie... I'd simply explain the truth from my perspective.

They can be expensive. That's where a press pass really pays off. Do you
have any published articles?


If I need to or want to hear it, the expense might not matter much...
Industrial stuff is always more costly than consumer stuff.

As for published articles - at least one that I know of but not in a
relevant field I'm afraid unless they consider non-malicious hacking's
historical viewpoint on-topic to their event... And the magazine was
certainly not industrial in nature at all.

I have my own web site and business and write a lot of stuff for public use
here in Northern, NJ. I'm sure I could pull it off legally and morally if I
needed to.

After all, I also write reviews from time to time for a metalworking forum
that is tied into the very backbone and origins of the internet. The
potential readership is HUGE too.... Rec.Crafts.Metalworking. G
