Will be interesting to see this year's turnout. Was supposed to be record attendance.

Had everything ordered and planned for this year...My boss called me yesterday night and canselled the trip… Otherwise i would have been on the airplane right now.
Volvo will have their machines and everything present, but there will only be local american personell manning the boots.
Of course planning for a Meeting With cm1995 and his Nice Assistant.

Damn MKTEF...:(

We were looking forward to talking with you again and hearing about your missions from the last 3 years. We really enjoyed our last meet up in 2017. God willing we'll be there in 2023 so maybe we can meet up again.

Take care.

Reasonable I didn't see any empty booths overall but you walk into the fluid power portion and it's pretty empty by probably a quarter

There are a ton of people here. This is my first time so I have nothing to compare it to. Anybody else make it?

There are more people here than I have ever seen at one time in any other place.

Good place for the Crocodile Dundee quote when he firsts goes to NY. I will have to paraphrase, but it was something like “10 million people, and they all want to live together”:)

I just got an email that conex will close one day early. closing Friday at 5pm. Glade I made it to the show today. This is my 4th or 5th time and turnout seems about average but the hotels and casinos feel empty

Conexpo is probably the only reason there are a few people in Vegas. Kinda sucks with this whole virus thing. I had decided not to go.

Had planned on going. Hotel prices crashed vs my early order pricing...which told me attendance could be limited.

I was going to drive out, then decided to get stuff done here instead...which all went sideways as well. : (

Yeah....
Kind of a **** off.
Just arrived here to find this out.
Hoping I'll get a good day of it but also know that peoples mind sets are in leaving now.
Made a very expensive few days for me that's for sure.
