Well the second and final day at the All Wireless Expo has come to a close. The booths have been taken down, people are packed up and in the next day or so headed to the airport.

For the past few years this show has grown both in popularity and exhibitors each year and this year was no exception. Booth numbers reached into the 700s and were constantly busy during the day and a half the show floor was open.

It also marked a new start in the conferences as Jeff Moore of Wave 7 Research took over the booking. There were some new takes in the conferences, as we lead off with a very interesting report from the economic side from Credit Suisse.

And every and anytime you have Peter Adderton, you’re bound to have a packed room, which is exactly what we did.

As far as NWIDA goes, we could not have had a better show. From talking to store owners and telling them about their very own trade and advocacy association – allowing them to save over $8000 a year and putting that money back into their pockets, to speaking to potential new vendor partners and hopefully increasing at $8000 number to over $10,000 by the end of the year.

So today for us it’s “Travel Thursday” – heading back to our office and tomorrow begins “Follow-up Friday.” We hope to announce new vendor partners and new discounts for our retail members very soon.

If you were there we would love to know what you thought, please comment below. And if you weren’t there block the dates off on your calendar for next year this is the can’t miss WIRELESS show!
