RE: FWIW

Hi Ralph,

I can sympathize with your position, but I'm not sure that running a show to the side of CES makes for any real improvement.

I'm well aware of some of the problems companies had with CES -- about 5 years ago was probably the worst, which is when I think you were talking about -- but I don't believe THE Show has picked up the ball and did what their show what they should have done, mostly, being a large-enough, self-sustaining show that can stand on its own.

So, what we have is a greatly improved CES (the Venetian is actually very good and the crowded elevators aren't that big of a deal) and quite good traffic. Sure, there are problems still. But is THE Show really a viable alternative particularly in light of the fact that it wouldn't have a chance of surviving if CES was there?

On the other hand, Rocky Mountain has really become something and we fully support that one. Despite the fact that CEDIA's been held in the same city one month before for the last few years, it's become a credible standalone show that doesn't need any other show to survive. It's done what THE Show should have done years ago.
