In 2010, I'm doing a little more business-related philandering to break into the trade and also to foist off some of my fancy, new business cards!
I was invited to the National Restaurant Association's show in Chicago, then to the National Candy Expo, held the day after, also in Chicago, and plan to attend the Summer Fancy Food Show in NYC, in June. So I have a big year ahead of me.
My questions for you are, has anyone been to these shows? I know Cybele and others have, but I don't know if they were there from a press perspective or as attendees. Are they friendly? How should one approach them? What else goes on? If anyone has information on these specific expositions, or any food expo in general, please email me. I'm excited about these but want to approach them constructively!

I haven't been to one of these food shows, but I would love to sometime. I have been to other blogger conferences in the past. Overall, people were very friendly and interested in my opinion. There were obviously some "celebrities" that people flocked to and I didn't get a chance to meet. I've been thinking about getting some cards made up myself...several of the restaurants/bakeries I've reviewed have contacted me to do more reviews in the future.
I'm reaching into my bottomless bag of favors to state that YOU WILL TAKE ME TO AT LEAST ONE OF THESE.
