Hello Frank,

Why not joint venture using Timothy's convention center idea? I read about someone JVing with someone inside who already has a booth. Go into the convention & offer them some cash to rent part of their booth, or the whole booth if it isn't getting any traffic (it's a loss for them at that point, so some money is better than the nothing they'll probably make). Or wait til the day of the trade show or convention & approach the person selling the booths. They'll already have sold all the booths they're going to, so you can probably get a big discount or offer them a commission off what you sell.
