From Workout to Last Call is analogous to always being ready to represent you and your company. The concept is simple, if you are awake, you should be "working"... net-working.

Trade shows and conferences spark mixed reactions-some see them as invaluable, others as a waste of time and money.

The truth? Success isn't automatic. It takes strategy, energy, and relentless effort.

I've experienced both the highs and the flops firsthand. Through trial and error, I've learned what works-and what doesn't. This guide is packed with hard-earned insights and pro tips to help you maximize every moment, from pre-event preparation to post-event follow-up.

The key? Show up.

From morning workouts to late-night networking, every interaction is an opportunity. This isn't about endless pitching-it's about being present, engaged, and ready.

Yes, it's exhausting. But yes, you can do it-whether you're an extravert, introvert, or somewhere in between.

So, how do you turn a conference from a costly gamble into a game-changing investment?

The blueprint is right here.

About the Author

Paul Abdool is a 3-time Vice President of Sales & Marketing and an author of books and articles. He learned about Events and Networking from his teenage years as a summer student setting up for multiple special events and trades shows throughout Canada. He also sold convention centre space and decorating for a show company. His experience as an attendee, a board member of associations, and an event budget owner has helped him to develop the know-how to ensure event success for his companies. Along the way, mentors supported him by providing the opportunities to attend conferences to watch them "net-work". He observed his mentors in action, researched the psychology of networking, and consistently practiced until he reached a level of comfort. He graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University with a B.A. in Psychology & a Diploma in Business Administration. He continues to practice networking daily and at events because he believes it is something that we all need to keep working on.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
