Plan B
Water, Water, Everywhere
When they arrived at the convention center that morning, the installation-and-dismantle team encountered a full-blown disaster. In effect, it was raining inside the venue - and showering all over the new booth. >> full story

Plan B
And the Wall Came Tumbling Down
The setup crew in the booth immediately behind ours was hard at work. And somehow, some way, our entire back wall suddenly came tumbling down into our space, narrowly missing our crew. >> full story

Plan B
A Matter of Perspective
My manager explained that there was "a huge problem" and suggested I get to the booth immediately. I wasn't sure what the trouble was, but his tone told me to hightail it toward the exhibit and ask questions later. >> full story

Plan B
Freight Fright
All of the freight had inadvertently been sent to a show in Canada, and there was no chance that we could get the errant shipment rerouted before the show opened the next day. We were, in effect, boothless. >> full story

Plan B
Rub a Dub Tub
Unbeknownst to us, then, the supervisor took all of our fabric back to his hotel room and submerged it in the bathroom tub. In effect, he "stained" all of the panels so the previous water droplets disappeared. >> full story

Plan B
Attack of the Killer Exhibit
I don't know if I actually lost consciousness, but one minute I was an upright exhibiting ninja, and the next I was face down on the carpet. And thanks to my cable ties, the entire booth was now on top of me. >> full story

Plan B
Shift-on-the-Fly Exhibit
My partner returned about 10 minutes later, carrying an armful of cafeteria food trays. He figured we could stick one of the 1.5-by-2-foot trays under each support post and slide the double deck across the booth carpet. >> full story

Plan B
In a Bind
It was at this very moment, gripping a hair dryer and surrounded by three-ring binders on the cold tile floor of my hotel bathroom, that I wondered aloud: Is this seriously what my life has come to? >> full story

Plan B
Food Flood
As our square footage of damp carpet grew, ultimately turning our whole kitchen area into a squishy-ishy mess, we had no choice but to shut it down and call show management to help us locate the source of the deluge. >> full story

Plan B
Barrel Band-Aid
Our client was frantically trying to connect a projector to a wall-attached mount. Clearly, however, it was like fitting a square peg into a round hole; there was no way it was going to work >> full story

Plan B
Blazing Brakes
Our shipping manager received a call from the transportation company that included the one word that nobody in our industry wants to hear: fire. >> full story
