I go every year as I am on various committees and have numerous meetings to attend.
The show is worth it, although the show floor is less appealing to me each year as there is only a limited number of thigs I have not seen. Certainly for any helicopter enthusiast it would be worth a visit once every few years. Thee is a lot to learn and see, besides all the free stuff, (that normally gets left in my hotel room when I leave except the really good stuff...).
If you are determined, you can see all the booths in one day, expect to walk in excess of 5 miles though as you criss cross the floor. The safety briefings are great value for private and even commercial pilots and they are all free, via the safety challenge.
