Because most trade shows are private functions, media attendance is a privilege, not a right. Learn how to effectively and ethically work a trade show from industry and media veterans Bill Brassard, Kevin Howard, Jim Zumbo, J. Wayne Fears and Douglas Gilmer.

Show producers, like the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which puts on the SHOT Show, must answer to its customers, the exhibitors. When media misrepresents its status or engages in unethical behavior, it hurts the show producer, but also could result in a ban from the show for the media person. Effectively working shows takes great fortitude, focus and mental acuity.
