Greetings from the train – I’m officially on my way to New York City!

If you’re a longtime reader or a stationer, chances are you’ve already heard me sing the praises of Tradeshow Bootcamp as an invaluable resource for anyone thinking about exhibiting at a major trade show. I’ve had the honor of participating as a Tradeshow Bootcamp speaker in both the webinars and Paper Camp since 2011 – I love seeing the wonderful things that TSBC alums go on to accomplish at shows like NSS and NYNOW!

This year, Katie will have her very own Tradeshow Bootcamp booth at the National Stationery Show (1850!), where she’ll have interactive kiosks where visitors can see photos, view case studies, and learn more about upcoming TSBC programs. There are also more than SEVENTY alums and speakers exhibiting at NSS this year (!!), so Katie put together a helpful roster of everyone exhibiting at the show (also available here as a PDF).

Katie just launched a brand new Tradeshow Bootcamp website full of information about upcoming webinars and Paper Camp sessions – along with a brand new blog called the TSBC Collective! The new website has a ton of great resources for small stationery businesses including photo galleries, vendor recommendations, case studies of sample booths, and a fun video about Paper Camp created by Joel Kvernmo of Iron Curtain Press. The summer webinar series kicks off right after the National Stationery Show and includes everything from Accounting 101 to product photography and styling tips. The TSBC Collective will be an ongoing resource for stationery and gift companies, highlighting all sorts of topics such as business resources, advice from past speakers, profiles of the 350+ alumni, vendor recommendations, and more.

Congrats Katie!
