You figure that with an average price of about 200 and about 5000 people attending they get about a million dollars in attendee revenue. There are about 150 booth spaces at $2500 a piece though $1000 of that goes to the five passes you get with a booth which is accounted for in the 5000 people attending so thats roughly another quarter million. Then all the advertising opportunites probably brings in another quarter to half a million. I'm guessing it brings in around $2 million dollars.

As for cost I'm sure renting the Expo hall is in the high six figures. Then you've got printing the show guides, badges, staffing, promotions, processing charges, etc. Probably cost them 1 to 1.5 million to operate.....Then you have to remember they employ some people full time to sell advertising, make arrangments, negotiate, etc....for the winter show, the summer show and Adult Expo (which is an even bigger event).
