Chadd 916 Report post Posted August 16, 2004 You can only get in to the show if you have credentials and they are only offered to people who work for pro shops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clarkstowncaps15 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2004 damn.wishing i was 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted August 16, 2004 The shop owner or manager would have to request the credentials as well. It's for the people who actually buy the stuff for the shops to see what they're going to order. In Toronto it was supposed to be 18 or older but some idiots thought it would be good to sneak intheir kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted August 16, 2004 I would doubt that you would get in when you are 15. Unless you are doing the buying for a pro shop, you really have no business being there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjtt99 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2004 Hey Clark 15,The expo is a business to business trade show. Basically, imagine you owned your own hockey store. You would want to sell equipment that was decent and popular right?This expo (short for exposition) is your chance to go see what all the manufacturers (i.e. CCM & Bauer) have new this year. This way you can decide what items to put on your shelves as you want stuff that you think will be popular with your customers.The manufacturers also have various deals they use to get retailers (i.e. your local hockey store) to stock and promote more of their equipment. That's why some stores have lots of Bauer stuff and others don't. This is why you can't by from the big manufacturers directly as ultimately; from this perspective, their customers are the retailers, whose customers are people like you and me.There, now you're one step closer to getting your business degree.

Chadd 916 Report post Posted August 17, 2004 Who's going and taking a LOT of pictures...? :P Taking pictures isn't really cool either. There's not much worse than someone running around with a camera pushing past customers while they actually try to do business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
