Title of the thread says it all! I read there were about 600 exhibitors but I wondered how many visitors came through the show?

Thanks! :)
 
Kevin,
The crowd was huge all weekend. Usually Sunday is slow but it seemed plenty of people were in attendance.
With all those additional tables, I don't recall seeing any still open. That says alot.
 
I checked with the Blade Show office with this exact question. Estimate given was approx. 8500 for the weekend.

Attendance was up about 1/3 from all estimations.

This is very encouraging! Sometimes I worry that there may be a bit of a slowdown happening in the industry, but if anything, it's just the opposite. I wonder how early a person can apply for a booth for Blade?
 
According to Blade it was a top show. Fridays crowd was the most theyve had. The cloudy weather had a lot to do with att :cool: endance
 
All I know is there we're more folks there, all at once, than I see in a year ...... anywhere! Great show all three days but, Saturday was just unbelieveable.
