You will get a ton of inspiration. It can also help you get out of your house! Conventions and events are pretty fun, you really should have a look.
Head to networking events for your local business group. You can likely find at least several of these put on by your local Chamber of Commerce annually. They probably have a list of other similar gatherings that are being put on in your city. Check out, at the very least, one of these functions. Of course networking is not necessarily exciting. That doesn't suggest that you can't have a good time. More importantly, these are great places to improve your local connections and business relationships. You will never know when you will stumble across someone who can help you improve your business and your profit margin.

These spaces are often furnished with things like break rooms, conference rooms, copy and printing services etc. If you hit a wall you will be around people that you can talk to. What is better still is that it provides your small business with a non-residential address and a place at which you can talk to potential clients. This adds both professionalism and validity to your business or organization.

This shows people that you know what you are doing and you can generate a lot of new clients this way.
