Last Day in Chicago.....How was it?

Have heard conflicting reports about traffic and sales for the last day of the Mid-Winter Meeting. Anywhere from "very slow" to "packed and a banner day for sales". My guess is that this had a lot to do with preselling the show and whether the company had any new and different products to demo at the meeting.



How did your company do?

Friday is very strong @ Mid-Winter

By all accounts Friday made up for the slow start on Thursday. Spoke to several DSP members and they were all very happy with traffic and sales for Friday.



Meeting was in McCormick West this year and was well laid out. Love the fact that the booth numbers were on the floor in front of each booth.





The DSP/ Proofs Mid-Winter Meet Up was a blast. Great to see Mark

Chicago Mid-Winter starts out slowwww

The Mid-Winter Meeting which just went from 4 to 3 days has started out slow. Great events and good traffic, but Thursday turned out to be a a tire kicking day. Friday and Saturday should be much stronger.



See you all after the meeting at the M/X bar.
