The Power of Sound for Your Brain

When I was at college, I used to play in a band and I loved it. Mainly because of my love of music. We had some really big gigs and used to write our own songs as well as covering some obscure music from those times. It is amazing that the music I used to listen to at that stage of my life can still make me feel a very particular way.

It’s like when I run listening to my ipod, it makes such a difference. I can run faster and longer when I have certain tunes on.

What’s more, I love listening to loud uplifting music when I get out of the shower first thing in the morning, because it makes me feel really alive, upbeat and charged up for my day ahead. My girlfriend is the same, even though our music tastes differ, she likes to sing loudly in the shower and while getting ready for work in the mornings. When I asked her about it once and she described how the music made her feel, she started to grin with delight, and I was intrigued by just how powerful sound can be and how we can all use it for our own benefit.

Not sure if many of you will remember this, but here in the UK some years back, Prince Charles was quoted saying “I just come and talk to the plants, really-very important to talk to them, they respond I find” in The Daily Mail. All kinds of research has been done as to how sound affects the world around us.

I recently read some research by William Congreve about the effects of music on our own development. I seriously doubt that William Congreve would have said “music hath charms to soothe the savage breast” if he had heard my band practising in my parents front room when I was at college, but he did think music offered people some special things.

The point that Congreve so memorably made more than 300 years ago, however, still rings true. Music elicits unconscious reactions. Brahms reportedly puts cranky babies to sleep. Mozart supposedly helps children achieve higher results in exams. Pleasant melodies of all sorts are said to lift depression, relieve anxiety and reduce pain associated with cancer.

Even many prominent psychiatrists acknowledge that sounds can indeed provoke the nervous system. The most dramatic examples are two types of epileptic seizures. High-frequency sound waves can trigger “audiogenic seizures.” The emotional reactions to music can cause “musicogenic seizures.”

There is a fascinating piece of research that shows how sound affects cells of water and if you think that the majority of us all is water, then you can begin to think that the sounds we continue to deliver inside our minds can be of some serious importance here.

What I want you to think about are the sounds you allow to be played inside your own mind. In my self-hypnosis master class and book, I mention a lot about internal dialogue. I want to go even further than that today though and go beyond the meaning and content of dialogue and just listen to the sounds that we notice in our minds; the tone, rhythm and pitch and how each affects you.

First of all, have a go at doing this:

Firstly, have a nice sigh. Sigh, naturally and out loud, three times in a row. A sigh sends a signal to your brain that all is ok with you and that you are safe and well. The process of sighing three times in a row typically gives an overall sense of comfort and relaxation and it should only be taking you 30 seconds or so!

Secondly, imagine sighing out loud three times.

You may recall from lots of my previous editions of Adam Up that your unconscious mind does not know the difference between an actual experience and a sensory rich imagined experience. So just imagine sighing out loud three times now. You can imagine sighs in situations where you want to feel the benefit and where loud ones might not be appropriate.

Sound has a profound influence upon us at levels below our conscious awareness. When you hear someone whose voice irritates you, that is a very real feeling being created by responses within you and the chemicals your brain is producing in relation to that sound, interesting stuff eh?

Similarly, when you listen to someone who has a really sensual, alluring voice, that has a very real feeling attached to it as well doesn’t it? There is a genuine connection between tone of voice and feelings. This does not have to be exclusive to communicating with others; it matters how you communicate with yourself too!

So, thirdly, imagine from memory that you can hear your favourite piece of music. I know that there are pieces of music that just make you feel wonderful. Notice the extent to which it is possible for you to feel the sensations the music creates in your body. Now become aware of the associated feelings you experience.

You will notice that lots of the world’s comedians, performers, prominent speakers and trainers play music when they come on and leave stage. They know that it helps them and you feel good at those crucial times.

Fourthly then, listen to a favourite piece of music and allow yourself to become aware of how you experience it. Music doesn’t just come in through your ears, rather, notice how you feel it with your entire body. When the piece finishes, play it over again in your mind, and discover the how you can reproduce all the sensations you originally felt. Then, next time you find yourself in a circumstance or situation where you would benefit from feeling those sensations, play the music in your mind!

Once you are sure that this really makes a difference inside your mind and body, you can begin to create and to think about various sounds that, when imagined, have certain effects on you. It really does bring new meaning to the term “sound effects.”

When I meet certain people, I have all kinds of “oooh” and “aaah” going on in mind. I just know that lots of you imagines being at a fireworks display then didn’t you? How about some laughter sounds and giggly sounds, or cartoon characters? Use the sounds that the world gives you and create more of the good ones, uplifting ones and fun ones inside of your mind and notice how it changes your daily experience. Notice the kind of tonality that you have with your own internal dialogue, if someone spoke to you that way, how would you respond? Would it relax you? Would it put you on edge? Use your own tone of voice inside and outside of your mind to resonate better with yourself and others; it makes a vast difference.

Canada’s Passion for the Game

Canada is a vast sparse country larger than the United States but with an approximate population of California. They are a peaceful nation and an active participant in the United Nations as peacekeepers.

Canada has always been somewhat inferior to its bigger cousin. It gets somewhat monotonous hearing the USA chirp about their many achievements. Living so close to the international border, most Canadians view enough foreign television about the American dream. It is enough to make most Canadian a bit tired of all the fuss. In fact, many Canadians smirk when Americans get themselves into a little hot water.

It is no wonder that Canada keeps sacred some homegrown sports in which they have more often than not dominated. Ice hockey is Canada’s game. Canadians hold firm the belief that its babies are born with skates. Ouch!

It is hard to refute that Canadians have a passion for their game, which rivals that of Europeans and South Americans for soccer. I mean football! Canadians eat, sleep and play hockey. They play the game 12 months of the year. Their American cousins have tried and at times succeeded in holding the mantle. The Russians have also had runs at supremacy. But, arguably, Canada is the world power of hockey in men’s and women’s hockey.

It is no wonder that any finish short of gold in any Olympics is a failure. This is a heavy load on the shoulders of all those that wear the red and black Canadian jersey. They are expected to win. Period.

Canadians, at any given time, can field 2 or 3 teams that could dominate most other international teams. On paper they cannot lose. But games need to be played before a winner is decided. A broken play, a bad shift, a lost breakaway chance or an outright loss brings on the preachers. Why were not Spezza, Staal or Crosby not on the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics team?

Canadians will eat their own if their titans faulter. After all, Canada is king of the rink! Hmmm… Enjoy the drama!

We Are All Spiritual For Better Or Worse

We are all spiritual, because spirit is who we are naturally. Spirit is part of the mechanics that make up humanity. We are mind, body, and spirit. So that everything that we do is spiritual. I say this without judgment or prejudice.

What we want to express spiritually is determined by the ego (body). Killing is just as spiritual as giving birth. Murder is just as spiritual as giving charity. Hating is just as spiritual as loving.

I don’t believe that it is our purpose to become spiritual-what we already are. I know that we are here to experience all aspects of spirituality, and it is observable from our history that that is exactly what we are doing.

If we push past all the limitations of conventional human understanding, and go all the way, we would know ourselves as God in human form. I am God-you are God. The creator is all there is-he is in and around everything-there is nothing or nowhere that he is not. This is a given in convention religion. Therefore the triune in religion of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost or Mind, Body, and Spirit is an illusion. In fact there is only mind. The other two parts are individualized aspects of the physical body. They are necessary for the mind to operate in the physical realm. They are necessary for the bio-mechanical body to operate in this three dimensional existence.

Becoming spiritual is not necessary because that is what we are. So what do we mean when we say that we are practicing spirituality or trying to become more spiritual?

What we are really doing is trying to remember! Most of humanity inherently knows that it comes from something far greater than itself. Man feels this connection and longs to be connected once again. Humanity sees this mind as better than itself, so logically it sees itself as less or inferior. So one would ask is God simply a better murderer, a better rapist, or thief?

If we are part of this better mind, and if we are created in the image of this greater mind, then like minds to like things! So what is it that the creator is doing while we are plundering, raping, stealing?

Humanity believes that these activities do not work for us, given that we want to achieve oneness with the creator. But we assume that the creator is good-whatever that means. We assume that the creator does not do these physical things.

God created all things physical and non-physical. Physical things are just thoughts manifested. Good and evil are physical things manifested through the ego. They are conditions of physical life-not the afterlife.
What we are doing in the physical world is redefining God in an image that we consider better than what we are now. Consciously we do not know murder, rape and theft as progressive. So far it has not brought us what it is that we say we desire. The experiences of these things are or were necessary to define ourselves as peoples who do and do not do those things. We consider not doing these things as better and more inline with our thoughts of the perfect creator.

While “God on the street” is walking around doing these things, he is simply experiencing both what he is and is not. In the realm of the absolute he would not be able to experience these things. God does not consider these things as right or wrong-that is a human convention. God is life, and life is freedom or unconditional love. Freedom has no boundaries and humanity is not bound-except within his own consciousness of what he can or can not do.

If humanity (God in human form) is defining himself physically, and it is his wish to evolve the human species, he will determine physically “what works” and “what does not work” for it through physical experience. Of course this predisposes any thoughts that he doesn’t already know what it is that he wants. I don’t believe that as one that comes from the absolute or in fact is the absolute would not know the outcome of any action. I therefore know that the only reason for being-is one of experience.

Idealistically, this is not how we would achieve enlightenment-what we are doing is not moving us to a higher awareness. But, it is in doing what we do not wish to do that we move to a place of only doing what we wish to do. From a human point of reference, that will only come in another realm of existence. All things that we as humans aspire to, are being done here, now, at the same place in time and space. This is God being God-Good God, bad God, enlightened God and ignorant God.

What we (individualized God) do, is experience through choice. If we want to build a better world, then there is an opportunity for that to happen-if we choose. If we do not want to experience war-it is a choice. If we want to experience peace-that also is a choice. Life is opportunity and choice. We can experience all that we desire now, in this moment or we can experience trying to experience or achieve a thing within a given time or space.

The world is a huge magnificent buffet of experiences. They are meaningless until we choose what will be our experience. Religion teaches us to prepare for the afterlife, but in doing so we are missing out on the most wonderful experience that we can imagine-the opportunity to experience what we desire, and how and when we will do it. The end is inevitable and is no experience-physical life is the trip that will bring the only physical experience. It is physical experience that we now desire, it is what we are doing-it is perfect. We are spiritual beings traveling through the physical realm, because we desire to experience all things physical. Spirit does not have to apologize for being. Spirit will not be damned because spirit is all that is. Spirit will not damage itself. When it has moved to a point of no longer desiring to experience a thing-it will not.

If you wish to move away from all the things that are physically unpleasant for you, you can do that simply-by not giving those things any life. All things exist in this world simultaneously for purpose-your purpose. You are the creator of all things that you experience. All the circumstances of your life were created expressly for the purpose of experiencing them. Life is not a learning experience, this is not a school. You and all things are spiritual-there is nothing you have to do or be, to be spiritual. Your life is perfect the way it is until you decide otherwise.

Life is not about being punished for experiencing life, but being punished for the experience of being punished. Life is not about struggling, but about experiencing struggling because it is an aspect of life. However you think of the afterlife, is how you will experience it. It is simply another aspect of living-just as your experience is now. You thought of this life before you were born-these are your spiritual thoughts in action-this is life! If the spiritual life for you is walking on water and through the clouds-then create it. But you are no more spiritual than the one that is grounded by struggle and hardship, or opulence and arrogance. Life was never meant to be a struggle-it’s a choice.

Electro Sex - Sexy Lingerie Excites the Male - What New Sex Toys Excites the Female

Electro Sex - Although it is a new technology for sexual stimulation in the bedroom, it has been around for some ten years or so, known as E-stim or Electro Sex. It is now gaining an ever increasing following in both sexes.
The male use has been publicized quite heavily in recent years, with a number of forum sites now gaining large numbers of members.

Sexy Lingerie worn by the female is wonderful to stimulate the male, but what about the women, she also needs fantasy to enable her to reach new heights of stimulation. In the past the common vibrator is the first item everyone thinks of when it comes to a Sex Toy for a women. The problem is they are usually cheaply made with an off-set weight connected to a battery driven motor giving off, firstly a rather off putting noise and a constant frequency of vibration that soon becomes boring. This can be varied slightly by changing the speed of the motor but very soon the repetitive vibrations become ignored by the body.

The ideal solution would be something that is totally silent with an intelligent program of sensations that is constantly changing both in frequency, depth, speed and power. E-stim or Electro Sex as it is also known, offers this solution by using electrical impulses, applied to the female genitals by electro-conductive electrodes. These can take be in the shape of love eggs or dildos the can be inserted or external electrodes that can apply these signals to the labia or clitoris. These sensations can be very low and sensuous or quite powerful for that more BDSM approach. The source for these signals could be aTens unit, although these do not usually have the power to create the contractions that are required or the variation of program to keep the body interested.

Recently a number of companies have produced control units that are very safe and have a number of preset programs already loaded that can be varied by the user. The more expensive units not only have some wonderful routines but also allow the user via optional software to write their own programs or routines
and download them to the controller.

So what do these sensations feel like to the women - I have been told by a large number of women that they have been blind folded by their partners and by using a simple bi-polar device (that is to say a device having two electrical conductive surfaces) such as a dildo or egg, they have felt exquisite sensations like a vibrator but with the added sensation of the pattern ever changing. Size and speed of movement are felt yet the device is stationery.
These sensations trick the body into believing that it is in fact a male penis that has entered her and that it can change in size and speed of stroke. This used as a method of foreplay can have the women in a state of ecstasy that she could not imagine OR if she has had fantasy’s of having two men at once but has rejected the idea on the grounds of endangering the relationship, disease or just being able to keep something like that secret, then Electro Sex can be the answer to role play scenarios without the danger of involving a third party.

The more sophisticated units that have Dynamic Pulse Technology and loadable scripts are still expensive - in the realms of £200 to £350, but then again for a sex toy that has no moving parts, should give many years of service and can be constantly updated, the cost it not as high as first imagined. Beware of a limited number of units that are in the market place that do not have channel isolation or isolation from the mains power through the power supply as these could be very dangerous.

I will be adding a second article regarding Electro Sex in the coming months giving more detail of these units and what we can expect in the very near future.

Easy Elimination Of Worry & Stress!

It is very true that, unfortunately, many people look to reduce feelings of worry and stress by doing the very things that, ultimately, bring on more of the same. Alcohol, drugs, and over indulgence in the wrong types of food all seem to offer an immediate solution to get away from the stresses of the day.

Now, I am not condemning sensible drinking or occasionally eating the ‘wrong’ type of food as a rare treat but the daily ingestion of such substances simply leads to poor health and a whole host of related negativity.

The question, though, is what are the alternatives? How can I relax and unwind without a few drinks?

The truth of the matter is this. A real, instantly accessible, answer is within you and you do it each day without even thinking about it. If you learn to harness this inner power you will, literally, have a way of eliminating stress, or at least greatly reducing it, without the need for things that are bad for you.

What is this ‘inner power’ I hear you cry! Very simply, it is your breath!

By learning a few simple exercises you can go a long way to beating stress while feeling healthier and more positive. If you perform repetitive actions such as deep breathing exercises then this helps in blocking out stressful thoughts. The more you repeat the activity and become proficient at it the easier it will be to unwind.

For an example of such an exercise try the one below for five minutes and feel how it aids in relaxation and reduces feelings of stress and worry.

1. Sit comfortably with your back straight. Place your hands on a table or desk in front of you.

2. From this position inhale until you feel you are full of air. As you do this I want you to imagine you are pulling a white pure light into your abdomen.

3. On completion of the inhalation hold this white light for a second (at most) in your abdomen then exhale.

4. Repeat five times slowly. This is the first step.

5. Now lets advance this! Do the same as above and have the white light in your abdomen area.

6. This time though do not simply exhale. Instead, as you exhale, imagine this white light spreading from your abdomen throughout your entire body. As it spreads into your legs, feet, chest and head allow it to soothe and relax your major body parts.

7. Do this at least five times slowly. This requires a slow exhale to allow time for you to visualise this pure, relaxing, white light time to spread throughout your whole being. Feel your muscles (and mind) loose any unnecessary tension.

Try this right now.

Give yourself five minutes to experience how just your controlled breath can really make a difference. At the end of each day perform this for five to ten minutes. Not only will it help tension to melt from your mind it will also benefit your health through your deep focused breathing gently massaging your internal organs.

Have at it!

Fore! Golf Destinations

Golf is a popular recreation activity for retirees and with many other age groups. Regardless of ability, it is one of those activities where pals can get together to play a round, get some exercise, have lunch and kibitz about their counting accuracy, chips, divots, slices and how many balls have been lost.

Historically, golf was a sport for the privileged that could afford private club memberships, travel the world to play the legendary golf resorts and schmooze with the sports legendary players. However, in the past 50-plus years, the popularity of the game has spread and resulted in the development of numerous new community, executive and championship courses across North America. The once weekend golfer is now an aficionado who hones skills at driving ranges and putting greens, has exchanged the weekly poker game for a round of golf and found the course the ideal place to do business, to pal around with friends and to rub elbows with the communitys movers and shakers. And, they follow the sport and dream of the day they too will tee off where champions play.

Golf is now being enjoyed by a large and diverse population, young and old, men and women, spanning all economic levels. And, the sport is energized with a new breed of celebrity golfer who is young and amiable. Tiger Woods leads the pack and is joined by other greats like O Meara, Mickelson, Singh and Weir, and in womens golf by Sorenstam, Park, Ochoa, Mallon, Kerr, and Hee-Won-Hav. These and other professionals have set new benchmarks for the sport. They have become popular advertising icons, spokespersons for charitable causes, sport fashion trendsetters and they are in touch with the amateur golf enthusiast.

Golf continues to be a growing industry with 16,057 golf courses located in the United States and 160 new facilities scheduled to open this year, most being public courses. Many Western retirement residential communities feature one or more golf courses as part of their amenities packages and, at the other end of the golf age spectrum, high-schools offer golf in their sports program.

Golf is no longer an at-home sport for the amateur as players are eager to find the opportunity to include this recreation activity in their vacation plans. Golf may be the main focus for some trips while at other times it will be a bonus activity added to an itinerary plan. Trip planners eager to tap into this market need to look only as far as the local golf course to find eager golfers who want to play the sport on vacation.

Where are the Golf Destinations?

With the popularity of golf and the abundance of courses, most destinations offer an opportunity to accommodate visiting golfers. When planning golf trips you will find distinctive differences in golf destinations and there are considerations to be taken with regard to climate conditions, budget and players desired experience. A key element found at most golf destinations is the availability of a selection of courses which compliment varied ability levels. Another factor is to differentiate between public, public-private and private courses that may or may not have reciprocal club privileges. Most all locations will offer professional services for lessons, have equipment for rent (when not traveling with ones own), offer special packages for groups and may or may not require carts. Here are some basic guidelines in identifying various golf destinations:

The best known golf destinations have built reputations as golf meccas and include places like Palm Springs (115 courses), Monterey (22 courses), Phoenix-Scottsdale (200 courses) and Tucson (27 courses). You find these destinations are the principal sites for major tournaments tours (PGA, LPGA, Skins, and Senior) and while many courses are connected with country clubs and resorts, most all are available for play to area visitors. There are also many other popular destinations that offer outstanding golf options but are often better known for their other tourism attractions. These include places like Las Vegas (57 courses), San Diego (90 courses) and Hawaii (80 courses), and they also are frequently included on the professional tour circuit.

Copy SoapNet and Make Money

Whether you want to admit it or not, soap operas may hold the key to your home business success. This article includes a few home and small business principles I learned while watching SoapNet.

Be really, really good looking. I don’t know if you’ve had this experience, but every time I turn on SoapNet I feel overweight, ugly, and hopelessly average. There is no way I could ever compete with the collection of beauties, male and female, that the soap operas have assembled. But before you go out and buy a Bow Flex and dye your hair blonde, remember that I’m talking about your home business in this article. Just because you are running your business out of your home on a low budget does not mean it has to look like you are running your business out of your home on a low budget. Invest a little bit of money into getting a professional logo and stationary. If you own a website and cannot afford a professional web designer, take courses at your local college. Presenting your business professionally can open up doors you may believe are closed to you.

Give them something to talk about. If soap operas do nothing else well, they create scandals that have people talking for days. It is a TV show for crying out loud! Can you imagine what kind of publicity you could bring to your business if you gave people something to talk about the way the soaps do? I’m not suggesting doing anything illegal or scandalous. But make sure your business does something that people would be willing to talk about. What do you differently than your competitors? How can you turn that idiosyncrasy into positive publicity? What good causes are related to your area of business? Is there some kind of event you could sponsor that would make the evening news and benefit a worthy cause at the same time? People like SoapNet because it is a lot more exciting than there own lives. Give people something exciting to talk about, and I guarantee they will.

Be the good guy. In the days of silent films, the audience used to cheer when the hero first appeared on screen, and they would boo and hiss each time the villain showed up. Earn your clients’ and customers’ applause by being the good guy. We have all had dealings with people we don’t trust or who were extremely difficult to work with. Ask yourself, Are you the shifty-eyed gravedigger American housewives everywhere hate to see on television? Or are you the honest, wholesome doctor moms would love to have their daughters marry? Conducting your business in a way that earns peoples’ trust will go a long way in creating word-of-mouth referrals and sincere praise for your company. Remember, like so many SoapNet actors and actresses, your business can get type-cast very easily. Make sure you are cast as a hero and you can’t go wrong.

Keep it simple. There is an entire channel, SoapNet, dedicated to explaining who is sleeping with whom, what happened when, and who is whose father. Plot twists and messed-up family trees may work well for soap operas, but people place a premium on simplicity when it comes to business. This does not mean that you have to dumb down everything you do, or stop offering complicated or intellectual services. It means the way you present your business is honest - what they see is what they get (see the first tip above). Do not sign a new client only to later surprise them with hidden fees or contract loopholes that will strain your relationship. This tip has everything to do with creating a relationship that is honest and transparent. Perhaps your business is built around something that you know that other people don’t. Do not put yourself out of business by giving away all your secrets. But keep your client or customer relationships open and honest. You’ll find that fewer people will try to take advantage of you when they trust you are not trying to take advantage of them.

Nobody actually falls down elevator shafts. But you may want to consider pushing parts of your business over the edge. Soap operas are king when it comes to character turnover - if they are unpopular or the story line isn’t going anywhere, there never seems to be a lack of creative ways to kill them off. Take a look at your business and see if there are any aspects of it that may need to be “taken care of,” as it were. Cutting down costs by cutting out baggage could do wonders with regards to your bottom line.

The SoapNet channel is now in more than 40 million homes. If you play your cards right, your business could be too.

Where is the Pitfall with Totally Free Professional Citezens Debt Advice?

Recently there has been a noticeable an ever increasing overall quantity of debt consolidation businesses now providing debt advice free. These businesses claim to give free non committal debt advice. What really needs to be clarified is whether these organisations are providing best value in terms of their service and the information they provide?

Finding reliable free citezens advice often takes some time. Regardless, it is essential to shop around for debt management services. Customers should never merely go with the first debt adviser that approaches them.

The truth is most debtors do not properly grasp the courses of action possible regards debt and financial packages in general. If customers had a proper understanding these debtors would not require expert guidance from professional debt advisers.

Debt counselling businesses are regulated by government agencies to ensure they are properly trained and manage consumer privacy. The weaknesses with this is that it almost impossible to monitor or demonstrate an advisers motives when giving free advice. In short how can a governmental department ascertain whether or not debt counselling has been given in the best interests of the debtor or whether, instead, advice given was skewed by the advisers own revenue?

The problem is that debt management companies are really out to produce a profit. Income is generated by referring debtors to alternative organisations or instead by charging setup costs from the companies to whom money is owed. Because of this it is difficult to find out how thoroughly such companies are actually helping their customers. The worry is that these debt advice organisations could be tempted to make decisions was driven by their own margins as opposed to serving the interests of the client.

Choosing the Right Trade Shows

Companies that are consistently evaluating their place in the market, their target customers, their operating budgets, and how to stand out from the noise are those that are most successful. Your company’s involvement in trade shows should follow those same guidelines.

Do Your Research

Many companies fall into the “same old routine” trap when it comes to trade shows. If someone asks you why you do a particular show each year and your response is, “We’ve just always done it”, you might need to re-evaluate things! It may very well be the right show to attend, but your reasons for exhibiting should be concrete and the results quantifiable.

If you haven’t done so in a while, take a fresh look at the shows that you do each year. Do they still hit your target? Are they still financially feasible? Do we continue to see tangible results after the show is done? If the answers to any of those questions is “no”, you need to re-think your involvement there.

New trade shows, conferences, and industry organizations are being added annually. Take some time to do some research to determine if there are other shows out there that hit your target. And when you find them, don’t be afraid to call some of the exhibitors from the previous year and ask them about the results of their involvement.

Once you have determined a list of potential shows, give them a final litmus test…ask yourself:

  • Does this show put us in front of our target audience?
  • Does this show put us in front of decision makers?
  • Is there any way for us to stand out from our competitors at this event?
  • Is this show affordable when we include space, marketing, our display, travel, etc.?
  • If they pass the test, you’re on your way to determining the best shows for you to do!
