Not nice... lol But neither is the Cloud theme. I use the White theme.

I went to this last year, it was a bit of a scrum on the Sunday space in the hall is limited if they get the same number of exhibitors, parking was a nightmare, I was hoping they would have had a rethink about the venue.

On the other hand there was lots of interesting stuff on show and some folks from here got some good value.

rymus

went to it a couple of years ago. Without being too nasty, it wasn't all I was expecting. The seminars were good.. In fact they were the only good thing about it.

Going to Focus on Imaging last year for the first time opened my eyes to what a trade show should be like.

You're right, I've changed back.

I have been the last two years. The Seminars are good. Apparently there are Trade Exhibits there too.

I can't remember if I'd seen Guy Gowan there last or was it two years ago. That for me was the best part. The biggest lesson i've learned from it though, is to leave my credit card at home. Otherwise I'm like a kid in a candy shop...:eek:
