Episode 103: Curt Covert (Smirk and Dagger) - Exhibiting at Conventions- Games we’ve been playing lately (not from Smirk and Dagger) Join me as we get to know Curt Covert, the owner of Smirk and Dagger games. We discuss what goes into exhibiting at conventions. While we go through a lot of information, it’s definitely not everything. But it might help someone starting out or might be an interesting peek behind the curtain. Then, we talk about 5 games we’ve been playing lately. And of course, ending with something positive happening in our lives. Don’t be afraid to go up or reach out to Curt if you have questions about the board game industry. He’s truly a fountain of knowledge.00:00:00 Intro00:00:16 Get to know Curt Covert00:01:27 Smirk and Laughter00:04:34 Trickarus00:12:11 Main Topic: Exhibiting at Conventions00:12:33 Curt's overall philosophy00:16:14 Choosing the Right Conventions for Exhibiting00:19:01 First Steps to getting a booth00:24:19 Navigating Convention Spaces and Traffic Flow00:33:03 Line Management at Conventions00:37:54 Efficient Booth Breakdown Strategies00:42:59 Planning for Conventions - when to start00:43:56 Engaging Booth Promotions00:49:37 5 games (not from Smirk and Dagger) that we've been enjoying00:49:55 Wondrous Creatures00:53:32 Dino Racer00:57:42 FliptoonsFliptoons Season 201:02:01 Clank!
