From the Editor: Trade Show Woes

This month the AIIM/On Demand Conference and Expo comes to Philadelphia. I counted just 97 exhibitors on the list. True, there are another 147 on the AIIM side (which deals with information and content management), but for in-plant attendees, it's looking like a quick day trip should do it.

To be fair, I spotted most of the major companies on the list, particularly the bindery vendors. And most of the key digital print vendors are coming, like Xerox, Océ, HP and Canon. Ricoh and Kodak, however, will be among the missing (though both will be at IPEX—see our story on page 46).
