A different Helitech Question

I have read the Helitech thread and will take up the kind offers to meet.

I have only been in the Helicopter business for just over a year and am a 200 hour piston pilot, so no experience of Helitech or any other aviation trade shows.

Question is what advice can anyone give me to help build contacts and potential job opportunities at the show?

Reason I ask is in my previous career I have been to many trade shows, but usually the people running stands are busy selling their own product without wanting to be hassled by Wannabee's.

Are there any particularly dead times, early or late when it would be better to grab people's attention? Would exhibitors be open to this type of approach or would I create a name for myself by bugging people? My aim is to get to the 250hours and start instructing, so would like to gear my efforts in that direction.

Any advice at all would be appreciated
