The 2019 Trade Show Seminar Lineup is Here!

Smith recommends choosing seminars based on their business needs.

“Attendees should honestly assess their business to identify areas that need improvements,” he said. “Then they should look for seminars that address those areas, and be ready to take notes as soon as the seminar starts.”

Smith said it’s great to learn more about things you enjoy or excel at, such as coaching or bow tuning, but it’s more important to work on skills that don’t come as naturally. If your store has several people attending the Show, split them up to cover different seminars, and then take notes and discuss the material later.
