content: I'll be there. Mainly to see if there's anyone left in OZ, or just agents / distributors. Most likely more influx of overseas (china etc) agents looking for OZ foothold.Hoping to find at least one gem :-)

content: Cool, I might go and check it out then. The registration asks for so much invasive information though, I wonder if they would like my first born child as well.

content: Quick summary report -Well, a heck of a lot smaller than previous years - the term "phone booth size" comes to mind :-)Nothing spectacular new, many "oldies" there - was good to catch up, but at least it wasn't 60% "fly-ins" looking for agents. Worth it for me, just to see who was still around :-)

content: Quote from: EEVblogWell, one thing that a few people mentioned was the ridiculous high cost of a stall area, which were pretty small. Many had to share with 2-4 others as they said it just wasn't worth the costs, which they would never likely recover. Having been involved in exhibitions a few times, the high costs were ALWAYS an important consideration.But back then, turnovers / profits were much higher, so didn't factor in as much. Yup, things have changed a lot.
