What's in your laptop at Trade Shows?

Our buddy, Julia O'Connor's, Trade Show consultant to the stars, recent article is good food for thought. She discusses laptops at trade shows and how easy it is for someone to pilfer private information.
Here are just a couple of questions Julia poses about your laptop at a show. Keep in mind the questions could be applied to any briefcases, backpacks, wallets, and personal items as well:
- Do you have information, records, data that are irreplaceable?
- Could that information compromise your businesses security if stolen?
- Would the information be easily replaced?

If your answer to any of those queries was si, then it might be wise to keep a stern eye on your laptops. Try deleting any personal information, stripping down the file content before each show or locking those files with encrytion software just in case it is stolen.
