Feedback on the Rubber Expo 2009, Pittsburg, USA, 13-15 October 2009:
Due to the economic crisis, the total number of booths or exhibitors was down by 1/3 and the number of attendees by ½ over past equipment shows, but we had decided to be present at the Rubber Expo anyway, even though we did not bring a machine to the show.
We were not the only ones who decided not to bring machines because of the economic situation and most people were very understanding by this decision.
The limited attendance made it easier to spend time with visitors stopping by the booth. Results from the show contacts have been positive in establishing good potential future projects.
