Regard by Nurture featured at NeoCon |
As the excitement of NeoCon starts to die down and attendees take hours scrolling through notes and photos trying to remember the exhibits and people they met, I wanted to get some quick thoughts from the four B&OI/BD associates we had attend. Two were veterans. Two were newbies. All four had great things to say.

Describe NeoCon in one word: Debut
What was your favorite part of this year's NeoCon: The interesting shapes and ways to reclaim private space. Also, the heat formed felted panels!
What is one tip/words of wisdom you would give someone going on their first trip: Keep your eyes and ears open. Get tours from as many reps as possible. They speak great language giving you the highlights and "meat" up front.
Todd: Contract Sales Manager, veteran.
