Show is small, but well balanced. For the average shop it's still an informative show to go to. Heck, just finding my neighbor as a source would be worth the trip, cost and effort to almost every S101 member.
What I find totally distasteful, that you should ALL know about is the NBM Show (Sign Business Magazine) folks canvassing the exhibitors selling their NEW show in Philadelphia, which is conveniently scheduled in 2012 just before the USSC show. I'm all for fair competition, but attack your FOR PROFIT competitors, not the association that benefits our entire industry in so many ways. For sure the USSC needs to modernize a bit, but regardless, NBM is acting totally in poor taste and it should be noted just how much they "serve" our industry!
