What was your impression of the event?
Obviously TBM you have never attended or you would have responded in a sensible manner. You once stated that you had only been out of state twice- once when you went to Mobile and another time when you went to Birmingham. Thought you may have attended this event the time when you went to Birmingham.
Really seeking some serious answers on this event. Looking at possibly attending this event. Cannot find anyone locally who has attended the event to get some first-hand input.
Thanks

Looking to put a golf outing together with frat brothers in Nashville or a RTJ course in Ala then meet hunting buddies in B'ham to attend Expo. Could be a fun week.
I have a lot of experience with this show.
First of all as an exhibitor. Last time we did the show was three years ago. Results were about the same on new bookings 0, zero, none. Obviously we were not selling what people were looking for. We did however spend the days seeing old clients from the area, etc. So it was not bad at all.
Secondly from an attendees point of view. The show is ok.
Not really the Worlds Expo on anything
It is a decent "summer" show for those people that want to go. There are some things to see but not a lot of product to buy, and very little in the archery line. There were some deals on Costa Sun Glasses and a few gadgets that were ok.
In general it is not a Bad way to spend a few hours killing time and taking in the sights available during the dog days of summer.
Planning a golf trip and then killing a few hours at the show is not a bad plan. Just dont expect too much from the show.
The hotel attached to the show is the Birmingham Sheraton and it is nice and is connected to the show via a walkway that keeps you out of the heat.
I would not suggest driving a long way to go to it and expecting a lot from the show. It is not as good as most of the winter shows in the northeast. The last time we did the show there were some outlaw outfitters there but then again they are at every show.
In summary, it is an ok outing for a day with no expectations of greatness. Or a late afternoon and evening event to kill some time. I have been to much worse, but it does not really qualify as a World event.
Hope that helped some, if you want more info PM me.
