Attending NY NOW and my experience! | Networking, meeting other small businesses

Hello friends! Earlier this month, I had a chance to walk NY NOW, a gift trade show that takes place in the Javits Center, in NYC. I wasn't an exhibitor, but I got to meet quite a few exhibitors within my niche. They were all so kind and gave me lots of tips!
In this video, I talk about what NY NOW is, my experience at the trade show, as well as introducing the different small businesses I got to network with there (their social links will be provided below). I also got to interview one small business and get her impression on what she thought of NY NOW as a first time exhibitor!
I understand this video is much longer than my usual, so I appreciate you tuning in and watching :)
