Speaking from some exp as far as attending and being involved with the
promotion of trade shows for a good part of my life. I can safely say it takes a tremendous amount of time and effort esp the first few years to get it done right. Once you have been doing it for a number of years (10 or more), it becomes much more routine as far as the timing and best locations.
1) location of course the facility needs to be large enough to hold the
capacity of those that are predicted to attend. Meaning enough hotels
for sleeping accommodations and also places to eat.
2) Transportation to the facility such as decent highways, airports and
possible trains.
3) The facilty would need to have enough room for all the vendors that
will attend the event and make this area look more professional. Also
due to the fact vendors will be attending other shows and thier
calenders get booked up early, they need to be informed about the
show dates as soon as possible. With the costs involved with thier
time, transportation, hotel rooms, time invested, (booth fees?), this
needs to be a worthwhile event on thier show schedule so that they
will be back for future events.
4) Entrance fee to help offset the some of the costs of having the event.
5) Special rates with the hotels due to mass bookings, perhaps getting
some racing celeb's to the event for publicity of the camaro line of
cars and get written up nationally.
6) Central location that will draw the largest amount of camaro people
within a days worth of driving.
Lastly my thanks goes out to all those who have made the first two camaro events a reallity to enjoy. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes
to put on an event such as this, but I believe this is just the beginning and its only going to grow. Hopefully where ever the next fest will be that
the camaro clubs in that area will help with some of the leg work needed
to get things going.
