I was being objective. The hall was half empty most of the time , except at the end of the conference sessions. Several exhibitors ,who had paid a lot for booths,hotels etc, said at the end of the day that they weren't getting enough interest ,and that included reps from the manufacturers. It is a mistake to mix conferences with exhibitions unless the latter are reasonably priced to reflect reality. Helitech doesn't ...it tries to have its cake and eat it.Result is disappointment for exhibitors and absence of customers.
