We did them and while I connected with a lot of existing customers, only stirred up a few new ones. My wife does two a year and is considering not committing next year, she feels (as I do) that my time is better spent doing other things.
She did the Home Show route (for her business), I did the commercial shows.

I heard about a small buisness summit in town. So I called to find out if it was a good fit for me to check out. So I call and now they need an electrician to wire all the booths up. I have never done this before... Has anybody ever provided the electricity for trade show booths? Project coordinator invited me down to walk the facility tue. Its the first day they will have access to start planning before exhibit this time next year. What should I look for??

We will be doing our first one in January. I'm interested to know how you do. We are trying to figure out what to do for the display. Thinking about showing the difference in energy use between different types of lighting, generator etc. Not sure what else and would love to hear or see ideas.

Just looked again. Is your company called Dent Electric services?
We are Dent Electric Inc, dba.... My brother in law is Dent Electric in Phoenix and my Father in law used to own Dent Electric in N. VA. Small world.
