There were 110,000 prospects wandering the halls - so they were serious about looking for a solution. I bet they did not care t e overall numbers were down, maybe they got the attention they needed to take the next step in the sales cycle.

The search engines killed the trade shows, as they have turned the Internet into a 24/7 trade show.
Read about the decline of the trade shows: http://bit.ly/2v5S6q

On the other hand:
- 7 out of 10 B2B deals start with an Internet search
- Only 2 to 3 % of all your visitors will ever register online or contact you

This is a problem or an opportunity:
Get a web service that reveals the companies visiting your website and their interest by the pages visited (+more data). Allowing you qualifying visiting companies as leads.

Cold calling on “warm” companies will be more effective (interested companies).

"Low" is relative. When we ran our conference 20, 000 was great! Anthony is right though...lots of coverage in the virtual world.

It might've been a low turn out physically, but CES 2009 coverage has been everywhere! http://myphillynetwork.com/...
