Insiders View of Atlantic City CHAMPS Issue 45 CHAMPS Show Magazine May 2023

An Insiders' View of The At ntic City CHAMPS Trade Show

Things to know about the show floor.

1. When you walk in and look at the floor, 1000 Aisle is on the left, and 9000+ is on the right.

2. Signs hang in each aisle, telling you what aisle you are in.

3. Restrooms are located along the outer walls of the hall. Look for signs on the wall high in the air.

4. Food is also located on the walls of the convention center. Quick, easy things like Smoothies, Burgers, and Pizza will be available. (Outside food is not allowed in the Convention Center. This includes cases of water! You know who you are…)

Breakfast and lunch are crucial to everyone working the show floor. If you have enough staff to send people on breaks, DO IT! Send 'em to the best spot in the convention center. Esquires II is located in the train station — fantastic food at budget-friendly prices.

I suggest everything, but try the pork roll on Kaiser for breakfast for a regional flavor! Lunch is also off-the-chain good. I get the Meatball Parm and the Philly, better than anything back home in Florida!

After the show is closed and everyone heads across the street to the Sheraton, you can expect the crew to head to dinner at one of our many available food options.

You will often catch the crew at local food establishments like the TUN, which is connected to the hotel, and Shoe Bar, which is a great spot to grab a drink between the show and dinner while still at the hotel on the second floor. You will find this is an exciting site for some lively networking after the show.

Some of our other favorite haunts are White House Subs, Angelo's, Angelino's, and of course, Kelsey's Soul Food! You can catch the entire CHAMPS crew at Kelsey's Wednesday night.

Always a good time with lots of good music and a lively atmosphere.

See you there at the Atlantic City Convention Center May 9-11th, 2023!
