Backstage at FETC

March 21st, 2006 | by Tim Wilson |

I’ve been to a few conferences over the last few years, but this is my first one with a vendor badge. My badge got me into the vendor hall the day before it opens. (The conference doesn’t really start until tomorrow.) It’s quite the logistics exhibition.

Shipping crates

Forklifts everywhere

Booth setup

The vendors ship all of their equipment in huge wooden crates. There are forklifts everywhere distributing all of the crates to the booths. It’s a lot of hard, physical labor for everyone and they definitely don’t have the air conditioning on yet. By the way, you can see all of my photos from the conference at my Flickr page.
