Great deals at La Boheme!


09.16.2008 — Attendance numbers were down at the recent CEDIA Expo 2008 in Denver.

But that wasn't the only sign of recession at the September event.

Vendors were shunning costly hotel rooms, and camping out at their booths; booth personnel could barely afford clothing; and exhibitors were peddling foamcore "products."

We've rounded up some of the most telling signs of recession from the show.

Okay, that was quite droll.  I hope all the vendors pictured will display a sense of humor, especially when the time comes to review their advertising budget!

This is just idiotic.  In actuality, the CEDIA market will take a hit in the next 6 months, and perhaps instead of mocking it you could be helping integrators plan for it.

Heh.  Looks like the recession is affecting everyone.  smile
