The Big Forklift people pulled out years ago.To exhibit at ProMat is a hideous expense.Just a booth say 20' x 20' will run you $20,000 by the time you have you exhibit in,staffed it and put lit etc.For the whole show with all the travel etc you would be looking at more like $50,000+ It's not justified, you don't get new business from it, instead it's meet and greet for your dealers.The people who make out are the shows organizers.A better way to go would be to rent a large industrial space and have a cheap show with lots of space in the suburbs.If people are coming to see the products they will come, if they want to party they can stay downtown. Personally I'm tired of going to shows where the exhibitors and attendees think it's a frat party, and the organizers want my last dollar for a lousy hot dog.
