I did great business there and by Saturday late in the day I was STILL seeing people I had no idea were even there the first 2 days because there was so many people to work my way through. I suppose it was smaller than previous years (only b/c Chris just said so in his post) but ultimately I agree... less fluff to wade through.

As for the amount of trade shows surfacing in our business I would equate to all the mergers and buyouts popping up as well. We are maturing as an industry and these are all signs of that.

In mainstream industries there can be 2 conferences a month, every month for the whole year. The difference is then that people pick their shows to line up with new product launches or particular points in the year where they want to stimulate their growth.

They don't run around trying to attend them all and feeling like they are missing out if they don't.

I think what you are seeing in adult is that there is some choice about where you go and why. Summer Internext will always be on my list because I always get to make great deals there that are worth my time and the money spent getting there.
