An idea for the EXPO

Just got a great idea for next year's expo in NC. Instead of listing all the vendors and stuff before the event why not keep it a secret and only reveal it once everyone has bought tickets and arrived?

I appreciate the suggestion but don't think I'll be implementing it for any future Expos. I can't imagine how such a thing would gain anybody anything.

I'll continue to list the exhibitors and activities as early as possible, usually about 5 to 6 months prior to the event. Updates are made as we go along, but so many travel in for this event that they need to know who and what is going to be there so they can make plans well in advance.

It was a joke! I wasn't being serious. I really don't think anybody would show up if you did it that way.

Okay, I get it now.

Somebody asked about value the other night. The International Custom Rod Building Exposition is about great value for everyone involved. One thing I like to do for the exhibitors is get them listed on the website just as soon as their contracts come back in so they can start reaping the additional pre-show benefits from the thousands of people who visit the official event website (www.rodexpo.com).
