I was at the show on Saturday, and for a first time event I thought it was extremely well-planned and executed. I got to about 85% of the rooms (I think), and it nice to see some equipment that isn't normally available at the dealer level. Judging by the comments on some local forums, it appears that everyone, from manufacturer, to dealer and consumer, was very pleased at how it all came off. And I have no doubt that next year's show wil be bigger and better.
I know I'll be going back!
