There are two factors that make this week’s EHX Fall different than all its predecessors:

The integrators at the show are looking for ways to insulate their businesses as the an economic situation has already affected many of their peers.

This will mean the downfall of EHX, not that the show was any good the last few years.  Eventually, EHX will be gone, it’s only a matter of time until Spring goes too. Once someone starts a spring show with better attendance then it will be the end. There are just too many distributors at these shows and not enough of the big manufacturers.
