I agree on the UPS! Power can be inconsistent at shows

brought an UPS to
make sure that my vintage equipment had good, clean AC power. My PDP11
kept on resetting during the show.

Just reaching out to anyone who has exhibited at

excited. I was invited both to speak and to exhibit, and they even got

two tables which is awesome.
Like, how do you prepare for these things? What things that you didn't
think of going into your first show do you wish you had?
I have a pretty eclectic collection, and some really rare stuff (like my
Mark-8s) that I'd love to bring but am hesitant about due to the risks of
transportation damage and theft (from the car mostly, not the convention
itself). Just trying to decide what to bring and how focused to be in
terms
of theme.
