Kristine Shreve will be joining the 2 Regular Guys to talk about trade shows… on both sides of the aisle. With years of trade shows under all our belts, expect plenty of stories, some fun, and some great advice about how to maximize your experience. Tips for show vendors and attendees to improve your trade show experience and not be the one they talk about.
Our regular listeners know this, but 2 Regular Guys are all about garment decorating, a bit of fun, and no rants or lectures or selling. We are not doing this for our employers, but rather for our industry. Since February 2013, The 2 Regular Guys have been the first and the most listened to garment decorating industry podcast on this planet! We are humbled by all of you tuning in each week. We work hard to bring you information that will make your business better, and our industry better. Take a look at our incredible weekly guest list and you’ll understand where this industry goes for news, interviews, and the heartbeat of garment decorating. Thanks for listening!
