The Consumer Electronics Show, just concluded in Las Vegas, was the largest in the history of the annual trade show conference. Great news for those of us in the trade show exhibit and event marketing business. Attendance was up from last year, and there were more exhibitors taking up more floor space than ever. Given the trends of the recent past this is truly and encouraging sign, and the hope is it will be evidenced in trade shows and industry events for the rest of 2012.
