Integrated Perspectives

摘要

I've never been big on trade shows and conferences. For years I have resisted them in the belief that they were mostly for those who had time to attend them and craved the camaraderie and social opportunities they offered. I've always looked at the programs and have seen that there's usually been something to learn during these events, but I brushed off the possibility of attending because I always thought I could get most of what I needed by working and paying attention to books and magazines. Also, there was always the issue that, as the sole provider in a one-person operation, spending so many days away from my clients and prospects would prove costly. I know now that it's time to change my tune. For a variety of reasons, I broke down and decided to attend the Aqua Show in Las Vegas last November. The main attraction for me was the fact that I could get a day-long dose of David Tisherman's drawing course at a fraction of the cost of Genesis 3's week-long school.
