We're coming up on show season, and this offers a great time to get out and meet people like you and your suppliers. But what if you can't attend shows? There are ways you can capitalize on the experience without setting foot in Las Vegas.

First, talk to other people in your area attending the show. They can share information on classes they attend, and your suppliers can share information on products they see.

Secondly, there are a number of publications covering the event, such as daily e-newsletter updates from Motor Age and its sister publications. These writers get to all four shows when you can't and share with you daily news and happenings.

Finally, check out the show Web sites to pick up on trends discussed at the shows to see what you should be paying attention to and what will be addressed.
