I have just heard that the last AmiExpo was the largest Amiga show yet, and that WOC _already_ has more vendors and attendees then AmiExpo. Both of these statements may be wrong, but it sounds promising. Chris and I will be there doing private showings of our new system. Hope to run into you there if you go!

I heard just the opposite! Re: The LA AmiEXPO had only 5,000 attendees, while the other AmiEXPOs had about 8,000 each. the show floor was certainly sparser than previous shows. I'm glad I didn't get a booth. There were also about a dozen magazine publishers at the show, more than any other I remember, making them a larger percentage of the exhibitors there.

The official attendence was in the neighborhood of 6840 persons over three days. It was a nice show though. The LA hotel staff were quite nice to deal with especially compared to Chicago. It will take quite a lot to go back to Chicago for a trade show.

I wonder if they count the way World Of Commodore counts. 🙂 Like do I get counted three times for being there three days?

That's not for me to say, John.

Well, you buy a three-day ticket. These attendance figures aren't audited in any way, so it makes little sense to assume that they are correct.

How many Teamsters does it take to change a light bulb? Fifteen. You gotta problem with that?
