The show floor was pretty much as I anticipated,, with everything that is going on in the Industry. Booths were mainly 10 x 10 or 10 x 20; with lot's of models. - Many found it boring - but to me it made a whole lot more sense! You could actually do biz if you wanted to. Since many just go to the showroom to be entertained - they were disappointed.
but there were better than usual freebies!
No - it was not loud, noisy or entertaining. People could actually hear themselves talk. It was more like the shows of Orlando, before the Industry went crazy with trying to out due the next guy.
Many CEO's were missing, but were represented by staff. Nicest party I think was thrown by ARS. Great food and Premium drinks. Smartest party was the Nocreditcard "Cigar & Whiskey" private party. It was classy, and even though the hand rolled cigars were 'not my thing - the aged and premium liquors were a "real experience" I saw CEO's at that party that I had not seen before then and never saw again. They brought out the 'cream of the crop.
I had a great time because I was healthy and had NO responsibility. Had some wonderful quiet chats with people that I enjoyed their company.
