Btw, the show floor is shockingly thin. Areas like IGF and alt.ctrl.gdc that used to be laid out with narrow aisles now have huge, generous space allocations.

It’s nice for us but wow.

@zarfeblong it's like really temperate weather in winter. On the one hand, it's nice out. On the other hand, this is probably a bad sign...
@zarfeblong do you think overall attendance is down or perhaps just companies spending less on booths?

@eviltrout Companies are spending way less on booths. I am told spending took a nose-dive last year and this year is worse.

As to attendance, I don't know. Anecdotally, hotels are not sold out the way they usually are. But we should wait for hard numbers.
