I picked up a free pass, so I might meander over either Tuesday or Wednesday. Never been, and it's considerably larger than the upcoming ISS show here, which shrinks every year now. I wonder if they'll even stage one next year. Hardly any press companies.

Last year was the first time I missed it. First show was in 2004 in Tampa, then Ft. Lauderdale, now in Orlando, but since the economy has crapped the bed, the Orlando show is doing a disappearing act. I think there are only 3 press manufacturers on the list, Brown being the biggest, and a bunch of small vendors. I'd be surprised if it survives here after this year.

I have to say, in general, I hear that from people who are attendee's of the Orlando ISS shows but when I talked to the vendors, they all said the same things and it's what I saw also. Of those people who went, they were buying.  So, those who needed to go, went. Not a lot of tire kickers.  All in all, it was productive and worth while for those who attended and for those vendors who were showing.
