Default Re: Are Trade Shows a thing of the past?

This last show was so small that I didn't even bothering going the last day.

The best part of the show for me was the private get together at Dave & Busters which wasn't part of the show.

It's kind of funny that I drove down to the hotel a day early so that I wouldn't have to stand in a long line to get my show pass since the entire show I never saw more then a handful of people in line.

While it was nice meeting some people in person there was nothing about the show that would have made it worth the cost if I wasn't a local that didn't have to stay in the hotel with no travel expenses. I doubt I will be going next year, if there even is one, and I stopped traveling to out of town shows a few years ago.

My personal opinion is that the internet has all but killed trade shows unless it is a product that people need to see in person and pornstars and dildos aren't a product that needs to be seen in person.
