Spent a lot of money to go last year and hoping for the best !

First year you pay for a booth you are put in a separate room called the The Innovations area for all the new and cool stuff. Last year this was on the floor below the main ATA show !! People from the main big show never even knew we were down there so we ended up with maybe 10 percent of the people finding us down there !! It was Lame for all the money I spent !

All of us vendors were very upset with the ATA show folks so when they called to see if I was coming back I gave them the low down on everything and they acted like nothing even went wrong !! So not a chance will I be giving my hard earned money to them again !!

The main show is awesome but it's mostly a big signing deal for all the huge companies and fancy big meet and greet for the TV personalities. The big companies do all there signed deals and make there orders for the year there. Like a one time shopping event. So if your fortunate to have a state of the art gizmo gadget that everyone just has to have you might be alright but if you only have stuff that everyone else has then most just walk right past.

As you can tell I personally have a bad taste in my mouth about the ATA so I don't care if I ever go back !! I'm for sure not paying to go back !!

I get jealous when I see the words ATA Show because I can't go. Not open to the general public. :( wah wah!

But I'm not of a fan of yuppies and big businessmen anyway so probably no loss. We will all see soon enough what the "next big thing" will be.

Slim, I did get that sd card. Sorry about not letting you know.

The ATA show last year was not that great for me either. I was not on the main floor but in the hall. I thought I would give it one more try. I am on the main floor this time.
