World Tea Expo - Las Vegas 2013
I am so lucky to be able to attend the expo again this year. It will be my second time. As long the event remains relevant to the industry I hope to make it an annual visit. Here are the last couple of posts I have written about this years event on my blog…

Are you going? If so what are you looking forward to most? Do you have stories of expo’s past? Post here. Would love to hear all about it.
Wow! I might actually be in town then for a body piercing convention! Do you know if it’s open to the public or for industry people only?
It is for industry people. However, if you are a tea blogger you can submit a request for a Press Pass. Here is a link that will explain who can attend and cost. Hope it helps.

Hmmmm, I didn’t see anything for a blogger. I’m guessing reviewing teas here doesn’t count. :) I did see pricing for students tho which was a little confusing because they list all the categories of people who can attend, then have pricing for all those people plus a separate student rate.
Anyone need an “assistant” for a day? I can assist collecting tea samples in my stomach.
LOL :) I know it isn’t there but it is a possiblity only thing is you have to be approved.
i saw a student ticket. it didnt specify that you had to be a tea student :)
if that is not enough, you can be my representative tea taster ^^
I wish I could attend, but it’s SO expensive. Perhaps I can save some money for next year…
It would be nice to show our flavored matcha teas there.
I can get there for $40 (yay for flying standby!) …. just have to find a cheap room..that would be awesome!
..and invent a fictitious tea company so they let me in…
or a soon to startup tea company :) you probably have enough tea to qualify…or if you don’t, you will soon lol
seriously: if you enrol in a community college or online course, you can show your ID
Anything to get to the Expo. I totally understand. ;)
So is there really an exception for students who aren’t in the industry or is it just a discount for people who also fit one of the other categories?
TC, if you make up a fictitious company, would you be interested in a fictitious business partner? :D
I don’t know if a fictitious company would work. In the past (I haven’t signed up this year yet), they request tax id info, address info, website, and a number of other things and then they take a few days before confirming your registration. They also ask financial info stuff to make sure you are a qualified buyer. You might be able to say you are working on a start up though.
Wow, it appears they have this place locked up tighter then Fort Knox!
