The displays are segmented into 12 sections, and a New Products Showcase featured nearly 2,500 newly introduced parts, tools and components.

My company gains access as a media company servicing existing exhibitors at the show.  My goal would end up being a strategic swag supplier for a small handful of annual vendors to this show.  I saw a few trends with consistency this year: Roof-top tents for trucks and not nearly enough hot models with full size posters.

Roof-top tents sort of look cool from a distance but, I have enough angst crawling out of my tent at ground level to take a leak in the middle of the night.  I cannot even imagine having to climb down a sketchy aluminum ladder.  In regards to the hot chicks….the booths that usually hired that entertainment were the wheel and tire guys.  As a result, there were NO LINES waiting to hang out in their booth space.   I suspect as the economy gets stronger, they better be BACK!
