Last year the show was down 25% in exhibitors and had to be down 33% in attendance. Now the show is back to one floor and you have to figure without the CES cross over people, attendance will be down another 25% from last years lows.

In their ariticle "
Tough times in the porn industry", the LA times reported similar numbers this morning: "There are plenty of other signs of the porn industry's pain. Attendance at the Adult Entertainment Expo, an annual trade show in Las Vegas that's open some days to the public, was down 20% this year. Pay-per-view programming, a key revenue source for the industry, has fallen about 50% from its peak three or four years ago, according to a person familiar with the cable and satellite TV business."
