Traffic Is Picking Up

May 7, 2012

I spent a few hours on the floor at the convention center this afternoon. There is a lot of activity taking place. The big exhibits are slowly coming together. The smaller ones are still in their crates and boxes. Tomorrow will be a great day of activity. There were a lot of fork lifts running about, but tomorrow there will be man-lifts, booms, and a lot of other equipment all trying to get into the same space for setup.

Activities will go late into the night, but it will get done. I am always amazed at the amount of work taking place as Tuesday morning gets closer.
