Orlando Registration Drops 23%
John Wolz
Total registration fell 23.4% and the number of booths fell from 260 in 2003 to 209 to for the 2004 National Industrial Fastener Show/East in Orlando, according to show management numbers.
Show management reported a total of 665 people registered to attend including distributors, manufacturers, reps, forming/cold header people and others and 552 registered exhibitor personnel for a total registration of 1,217.
Total attendee registration in 2003 was 767 and overall registration was 1,589.
Show management”s post 2004 show news release did not announce total distributor registration, which had slipped in six of the past seven years. They reported 469 in 2003.
The numbers include advance and onsite registration so actual attendance is not known. Show management does not use a verified attendance system, and the show is not audited by an independent trade show quality assurance system. Trade show experts have estimated that frequently 50% of advance registrants do not actually attend the event. Show management does provide a list of registrants to exhibitors.
