You just had a great trade show, and now you’re ready to head off to the big recep­tion with every­one else.  The only prob­lem is you also have to get things ready for the booth to be torn down. While it’s easy to for­get this stage of the show, tear down can go smoothly if you plan well. Here are some tips to speed it up:

1.    Assign tasks to each team mem­ber (what they are required to take care of and bring back with them) before the show is over. This will help avoid con­fu­sion at the end of the show and ensure that noth­ing is left or for­got­ten.
2.    Send some­one to the cus­tomer ser­vice line fast! Avoid lines by get­ting to the desk early for your bill of lad­ing and any labels you will need at the end of the show.
3.    Keep any rental items in your booth.  During tear down, these items can shift to dif­fer­ent booths some­times caus­ing unnec­es­sary charges for miss­ing items.
4.    Run for a cab as soon as you have your booth ready to go. If you don’t catch one of the first ones, you could be wait­ing for a long time.

I hope these tips will help you have a swift exit while ensur­ing everything’s in place for the next impor­tant show.
