What should I do to prepare for a huge show with 80,000 expected visitors?

Get help—you’ll need someone to assist you because the attention volume will be overwhelming. Make your giveaway signup as easy as possible: use a QR code that takes people directly to the landing page, have a physical fishbowl for business cards, and provide paper slips for email addresses. Eliminate any friction in the signup process. Pre-create your giveaway landing page in advance so you’re completely ready. Be prepared for constant conversations about your artwork. With that many people, you won’t be able to handle everything alone, so having an assistant to manage the giveaway while you engage with serious buyers is essential.
