I am still amazed that the GIE-EXPO keeps getting worse every year!

We haven't been in 8 years but it sure was a great time we had. Do ya'll think we'd be disappointed if we went this year? Time is not a factor. Have a lot of vendors stopped participating?

I believe it has changed a great deal in the last 8 years. I am sure the number of vendors are down since the number of attendees is half of what it was. 8 years ago you could get 50K+ attendance for a three day show.
I believe that last years attendance was 1/2 that at best.
If you decide to go please let the forum know how it went and the differences from the last time to the present. Good and bad Please.
I am interested from a Vendors point of view.

I have never been to the show, but to me, having a GIE Southern and a GIE Northern, split up, is a good idea. I have no interest in southern turf maint or transition zone for that matter. I am sure the southerners have no interest in northern stuff either.
