2009 ICA Convention - Las Vegas

[Red Baron]

I just returned yesterday from the national roofing show in Vegas and their numbers were down significantly, both in terms of exhibiters and attendees. The exhibiters seemed to cut their booth size down a lot! We exhibit there most years but not this one, so there's some more anecdote that the economy has affected the shows.

That said, I managed to come home with $700 more than I left with, so I'm happy.

Expo schedule.

I got my expo badge this week, but it doesn't have the usual literature about the show itself. I like to look over the schedule of educational sessions to get an idea of what I might want to attend when there. I went to the ICA site, but all I can find is a description of each individual seminar. I have to click each and every one to find the scheduled time. This is very time consuming. What I am looking for is a page with them all together so I can browse and maybe print it out. Anyone found such a list that I may have overlooked? Also, I couldn't find an earlybird forum listed. Has that gone by the wayside? That was my favorite session of the whole show .

BTW, did anyone here win free rooms?
