Any chance Rodmaker or someone else can do booth to booth videos like Tackle Warehouse did at Icast? Obviously not as cool as being there in person but it will help those that cant make it get a sense for the vendors and their products.

Wouldn't that be cheating? Make the effort come to the show. IMO, it is only 33% vendor exhibits ... the rest of the experience formula is 33% seminars and 33% networking. Even with a video as you suggested, you wouldn't even begin to taste the experience. There are plenty of photos from past Expos in the photo gallery and past issues of Rodmaker.

I'm not sure what cheating means. If it means watching videos in exchange for the experience of the show, well you already pointed out the loss by not attending in person.

Certainly wouldnt say that watching the Tackle Warehouse videos was anywhere near the experience of being at Icast in person. But, it sold product before it was even on the shelves.

Just a question. If the powers dont see value, no finish off my blank.! ;)
