1) there was only one vendor who sold beading needles and it was a very tiny offering - at a bead show, beading needles would be a must. 2) Tables were very close together - might want to consider more space at next venue. It was very cramped - people were smashing into me the whole time I shopped and if you had a backpack or handbag, you were constantly in someone's way and getting bumped
Pennslvannia Hotel was easy to get to. Exhibit room was nice but oppressively hot in one of them. Too many of the same vendors selling the exact same merchandise. I attend all of your CT shows & the main reason for going all this way to NYC was to hopefully see some new vendors selling some new stuff. Where were all the lampworked vendors? How about some handmade clay/ceramic bead & pendant designer. Other than that, I love these shows & will continue to attend as many as I can.
Know what your local store have and there pricing. Then use that info to compare pricing at the show. Shop items that are unique or cheaper than your local venues. Don't buy the first thing you see. Walk around, collect business cards and then revisit the vendors you liked most.
Scan all vendors in first survey. Make note of items you might purchase. In secondary survey note price/quality differences. Third go through zero in on your choices and buy what you need and what speaks to your heart. Enjoy it all !
I wanted to meet new vendors for gem bead supplies and I found some! It was great! Perhaps in addition to bead suppliers, suppliers of beading materials would be good too. Wire, stretch cord, waxed Irish linen, leather cord, etc
The event was totally awesome. The registration fee was rather affordable. So many assorted items at affordable prices. My energy and excitement level was at an all-time high. I felt like a child in a candy store. Totally, totally incredible event.
