GAMA Amusements

Things have been a bit quiet lately, as everyone is astir right now as they prepare for the year's first big show - the GAMA Trade Show, hosted in scenic Las Vegas, Nevada. This weeklong event involves lots of new product announcements, major game releases, mergers, drinking, debauchery and general fun in Sin City. One service that GAMA has been providing is sending out helpful emails to industry professionals explaining the nuances of the show. While much of it is quite good for first-timers, still other tips are obviously the result of knowing one's audience. My favorite passage follows:

"There are a couple of other important pieces of equipment you'll want for the show floor. The first is breath mints. You'll be talking to hundreds of people, and you'll be trying to present yourself as a professional with whom they want to do business. Freshening your breath periodically ensures that speaking with you is a more pleasant experience."

Sad that this must be the first tip of courtesy, yes, but also true. So, so true.
