Improving Flow and Organization

Pinshows should focus on optimizing the flow and organization of the event. The layout of the floor should be designed to encourage cross-pollination between different types of pens, such as vintage and modern. Additionally, there should be a designated area for services like nib grinding and repairs to make it easier for attendees to find and access these services.
