It was an interesting show this year in many respects. As always, the show proved fruitful for all the exhibitors I talked to. The difference this year was that there were noticeably fewer attendees. Ironically, this seemed to have an effect on the quality of the leads generated. They were better! With fewer attendees we had more time to spend with individual buyers. Even the buyers themselves seemed to be more focused and more serious.
We opted for a smaller booth than in years past but considering some of the "no-shows" we were happy to simply be there. We found some interesting new products which we'll be adding to our web site soon and we made some great contacts with companies and people we hadn't met before.
Finally, for the first time I can remember the weather was actually comfortable. A small thing to be sure but it made for a very pleasant show experience.
