If anyone goes or has been, I would like to know if they think it is worthwhile.
Thanks!

TR,
It's supposed to be a pretty good show. I'll be there setting up today and can post up what seems to be panning out. There is a link to exhibitors on the website.

Something on the order of SHOT, but smaller? I would go just to meet up with some of the locals.
Not this year however...We just got back from Paris, and are leaving for ten days in Turkey and Berlin, early this week...

What booth will you be at?
I'll be running around with the LWRC Crew today. See those of you that choose to come.

Didn't see anyone from LWRC there, but I did run into Snaquebite, LR1947, SERPENT 5XX, et al. Even Perry D. was there jogging around.
Good to see you all, nice show, much better than SOFEX, but poor planning to do it on a holiday.

Not SHOT, but I still felt it was worth the trip. Snaquebite showed me some earpro I might have to "acquire", ran into a few buds from past lives, and DID find the LWRC booth. Missed jbour13 (but did meet your brother(?)). I will be spending some money with them, probably for a conversion sometime after the new year. Had a good time and wasted an afternoon productively. For those of you in the area, it's still on tomorrow, get there early. Passes are available on site. Peregrino

I had the chance to attend and I must say that there were some very good products out there floating around. Seems like the brunt of most of the demos were communications oriented. I was hoping to see some advancements within the medical field, but the guys who were there did happen to give quite a few goodies to a few of us. If you have the chance to go and stop in for an hour or two I definitely recommend it.
I might head over tomorrow before I get one last study session in for the DLPT Thurs and Fri. Have a good rest of the week!

The best med products show is the SOMA in Tampa, usually in Dec.
