I think a lot of the positive response out here
in CA was due to the local people in their
booth. Although I was not there on Saturday, I had
many walk up and ask if Jim Hoffman was back for
a second day. If we couldn't give them the answers
they were seeking from Jim, we gave them his card
amd instructed them to call him directly.
I was at DEMA last January, and I agree that there
seemed to be a bit of a standoff-ish attitude for
just the reason you cited, they were really too busy
to deal with everyone who walked up. Booth traffic at
these shows swells and ebbs and sometimes there just
isn't enough staff on hand to support the interest at
hand. People don't have time to wait around for
a staff member to assist and they move on - time
is money, especially if you are at the show for only
one day.
