What's The Best Way To Stay Up On Things?

What are the best places to get good, quick updates on the latest trends, new products and that kind of stuff? I feel like I don't have time to run my business and stay caught up. I need to find the best way to keep up to date. Got any suggestions?

I go to the SMCA trade show every other year and my supplier puts on a dog and pony show twice a year I don't always go to these.

Try going to the contractors board meetings. Your local supply house is also a great pplace to start. Network with the salesmen, build a relationship as soon as they see potential for sales they'll be calling you with the markets latest heartbeat.
