Getting the most out of our first CBC?

Hey, all. Hoping to be able to pick your brains and get some advice.

I am a homebrewer currently at the stage where I am seriously considering opening a small, local spot without much delusion of becoming rich or endlessly spiritually fulfilled. However, brewing is something I love doing, and I am fortunate enough to be at a stage in my life where I can have this as a serious consideration. So, I know I will forever regret not giving a try.

All of that being said, CBC is right in our backyard this year so we will attending. Well, just the tradeshow portions. As much as I would love the seminars, the ticket price jump made it not an option for us.

I still want to get as much out of this event that I can, though. How would you all recommend I do so? Are there certain vendors you all think are good to talk to in this spot or in general? What types of suppliers should I look at? We plan to buy most of our equipment used. So, I was thinking chemical suppliers, hops, and yeast would be of highest value? Am I overthinking this?

Anyways, I appreciate anyone who took the time to read this. Hope you have an excellent time if you are also attending.
