Plan B
This is Not a Drill
I watched as flames consumed wall panels and engulfed product displays. Firefighters managed to put the fire out, but everything was ruined. >> full story

Plan B
Stuck in Customs
We had a garbled mess of empty brackets and wires that looked as if some gang had looted our security cameras from a security show - an irony not lost on me. >> full story

Plan B
Heart of Darkness
Suddenly everything went dark. One moment the show was blazing with neon lights and LED screens, and then bam! Nothing. And the silence was deafening. >> full story

Plan B
Winds of Change
With just 12 hours to go before the show opened, we found ourselves in a tent in the middle of a marathon-length storm with no way to batten down the hatches. >> full story

Plan B
Compound Catastrophe
While the team remained shifty-eyed and ready for further calamities, the components went up as planned. But then Old Man Murphy paid us another visit. >> full story

Plan B
As the Exhibit Turns
Despite his prior written approval, the client wanted the entire booth rotated, so that rather than facing the entrance, the booth went head to head against a nearby competitor. >> full story

Plan B
AWOL Apps
The event planner called to report that the booth had arrived, but the promotional and food items were on the lam. If my client didn't act fast, he'd have no morsels to distribute in his booth - but plenty of egg on his face. >> full story

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
