I see. When does the trade show start?

The trade show begins on October 15 and runs for four days. You’re required to arrive the day before the show begins.

Okay. Is there anything else I need to know?

Yes. You’ll meet clients during the trade show and also attend networking events.
W :
All right, Mr. Jackson.
