Let the real work begin

With the conclusion of the awards ceremony and the opening of the trade show, the real work is underway. KVH has a tremendous location - near the entrance to the main hall and with an end cap, allowing the entire booth and the complete display to face all of the attendees as they enter the building. With more than 1,120 exhibitors, a prime location is key. I feel for the poor souls tucked away at the back of the hall. Maybe they brought a deck of cards...

There has been an unending series of meetings among our distributors and members of the KVH team. With two office areas within the booth itself, we have plenty of space. Conveniently, we're also located next to a small food court serving Chinese food and with plenty of extra tables to serve as spillover office space. (Personally, I recommend you skip the Chinese food and go for the homemade crepes with fresh strawberries...what a difference from SEMA and Las Vegas where it's hard to find anything but burgers, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets.)

The office space is necessary because KE is booked solid with meetings with the individual distributors. While yesterday's meeting set the ground rules and the foundation for next year, it's in the meetings taking place today, tomorrow, and Thursday where the real work gets done as KE and distributors discuss every aspect of the business as it applies to their individual regions.
