Attendance Down 14% at CEDIA Expo 2008
Number of non-exhibiting attendees increased, however, CEDIA says.
CEDIA Expo 2008 appeared very well-attended, especially to those waiting for the show floor to open on Day 1.
Sitting Out the Show This Year
I've heard from a number of CE pros who aren't heading to Denver this year for CEDIA. Some say it's the economy, others say it's not worth it anymore. Are you sitting out the show this year? Why? View this discussion thread.

09.08.2008 — Attendance was down 14 percent at CEDIA Expo 2008, which took place Sept. 4–7 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.
There were 25,000 attendees at this year's show versus 29,000 attendees during CEDIA Expo 2007, according to CEDIA.
Interestingly, the number of non-exhibiting professionals attending actually increased, as did the number of integrators participating in CEDIA University training, according to the organization.
That means the total figure decline probably reflects the number of exhibiting manufacturers.
CEDIA anticipated the slow economy and down housing market would impact attendance during 2008.
“To help offset the impact, CEDIA provided over $500,000 worth of free education at [CEDIA] Expo [2008]," explains CEDIA COO Don Gilpin.
The show floor appeared bustling and the Expo, in general, seemed to be well-received, based on CE Pro editors' conversations with attendees.
CEDIA Expo 2008 featured over 500 exhibitors, over 90 of which are new companies, according to CEDIA.
