I was impressed by the size of the show, and the enthusiasm of the attendees. I had never worked this show before, but I heard the 2009 version was like a graveyard. This year provided compelling contrasts. Attendance was high and so were spirits. So this may be good for those of us who work in the trade show industry regularly.

There will always be a need for trade shows even if the Internet has been responsible for taking away a percentage of footfall. Nothing can match face-to-face interaction and the ability to see products up close and in person. I would tend to agree with this article falling into the glass half full camp.
