AXPONA or T.H.E. Newport?

Drubin,I went to Axpona last year and it was a very good show. It is worth the trip. Never been to THE but have been to RMAF. Axpona is a bit smaller, but there is still a ton of high end stuff to see and hear. It is supposed to be bigger this year than last. You will need a couple of days at least to see everything. Pay no mind to the goofball above. He posts quite often here, but almost never provides anything of value.

Mrschret, my information and instincts tell me that Axpona will be held elsewhere after this year. That you are so close to the show location makes the decision even easier for you. We'll be there, so please stop in and introduce yourselves and take a good listen.

Mrschret-look for a 5'10 woman in her late 40s with a 5'8 man in his 60s.

Just exactly who of the above are you referring to as the goofball?

Essential, that's disappointing news. I hope your wrong. Last years show success and this years expected success seems to prove that there is a market for this product in this area. Of course, the true success can't just be measured by attendance but more by way of the manufacturers bottom lines. Does partaking in this show prove to be worth the time and expense by an uptick in sales? My guess, and it's just a guess of course, would be that a metropolitan area as big as Chicagoland would prove yes. If Axpona needs to move on it would still be nice if some sort of show like this would fill the void.
