As I write this, I am headed off to Montreal to one of the last big pulp and paper trade shows left on earth: Exfor 2008. The interesting thing to me is that while trade shows in our industry now have a long history of diminishing, those in other industries seem to soldier on, and in some cases even grow. I’ll be going to Montreal with this thought in mind. If you happen to be there, stop by and see me at the Bright Technologies booth (they are sponsoring my trip) and let me know your thoughts on this subject.
