Use our event hashtag on your social media channels
If you’re enjoying a session or feature, tell people about it. Include #BTShowAmerica in your posts – we may even repost you on our channels.

Wear comfortable shoes
You’ll do more walking than you expect – between sessions, exhibitor meetings and networking. Choose shoes that will keep you comfortable all day.

Stay hydrated and plan breaks
Take time to rest and drink water throughout the day. You’ll find plenty of seating areas and water refill points inside the show.

Remember to turn on your out of office
