Exhibiting always looks effortless from the outside: polished stand, smiling faces, great conversations. The reality is carrying far more than you planned from the car, hoping the lift works, and somehow losing your voice by lunchtime.
I've exhibited at venues of all sizes over the years, and learned almost everything the hard way, including a memorable phase of holding banners up with duct tape (they worked, mostly!)
I've just written up the honest version of what I've learned: what to pack, why you shouldn't go it alone, and the small kit that's saved the day more times than I can count.

I'd love to hear about your own exhibition experiences too, the wins, the near-disasters, and everything in between. Drop them in the comments.
