thank you Dan

You are welcome. They always rotate the show in 3 places: Las Vegas, Orlando & New Orleans.

Interesting to see that for Las Vegas in the future dates are TBD. I wonder what that means.

I wonder what that means.

I'm not referring to DEMA but rather tradeshows in general for booking. In the larger convention halls there is usually minimum square footage & booth requirements for certain venues and halls. It take ALOT of dollars to turn on the AC, staff doors, parking & on >on>on. Almost all convention halls Lose Money, but they make up for it in hotel/other taxes. In Orlando we have 2 separate buildings and the rates and requirements are very different for each. If a show is not able to meet minimum requirements, they may switch to a hall that they can sign on the dotted line and guarantee to meet. Hence " TBD". Many tradeshows after Covid 2020 had to payout huge dollars to reschedule contracted space and now can't get their exhibitors to commit to even showing up. We've had a couple of reasonably large tradeshows that have moved out of the convention center and over to the large hotels who have big halls to accommodate those now smaller shows. I feel sorry for those huge convention halls of 1mill sq ft that are not in a vacation town cause they are getting whacked with shows leaving and empty buildings...

Just my opinion & experience so don't listen to me but........one avenue DEMA could chose would be to partner up with ANOTHER tradeshow and host together. It's done in the automotive industry frequently & successfully. So who would diving folks partner up with?? >>>Boat shows??

Yeah, like I need another money sucking distraction.
Luckily for me, I don't visit DEMA anyway, but Dusseldorf almost divorced me twice.

So I was watching some DEMA videos and came across this sidemount presentation by UTD.

the meat of the system description starts at about 26:30

I think I like it .... seemed to make sense to me.

Then there's the Orange, Essex County in NJ, with all of the, uh, charms of the Garden State . . .

Allow me to explain why Orange County in NJ has no charm.

It does not exist.

That was easy.

I’ll let New Yorkers explain to BB why it has no charm.
