Deals at DEMA

[Brian Gilpin]

This year will be my first show if I wind up going. Friends tell me that there are a lot of great deals available right at the show. Does anyone have any info about the type of deals typically available? I am interested in a drysuit especialy DUI and possibly other equipment. Is it possible for a DM to get key man sort of deals at the show even though not part of a shop?

Yup - that's half the fun of going to DEMA. Maybe even more than half.

Last year they didn't sell anything till the morning of the last day.

That was for things you could take away then and there, for other stuff, such as orders i am not sure how it works....

Some folks will sell to any Instructor, DM, etc. and deliver later. Others will only sell their floor samples on the last day of the show. This year there will be fewer real manufacturers and distributors. Those that will be there have smaller exhibits. The hall is still not yet full. It will be mostly training, travel and trinkets. It is Las Vegas, and a tax write off, so it can be fun. Register before the 10th for the best price.
