Agree with everything George said. I was at the Cincinnati and Little Rock shows as well, it just keeps getting bigger and WISPA keeps getting bigger, more professional, and more of a representative of our industry to the rest of the world. The government interface stuff is more important seemingly by the minute. I was very impressed with the job Steve Coran, Alex and Forbes are doing for us on the FCC and legislative fronts, Forbes had a good talk yesterday about how we can work with our representatives in Congress.
It was amazing that Nathan had a whole bunch of WISPs touring his facility, with his employees eagerly showing us anything we wanted to see and answering any and all questions, while he was here at the show doing his WISPA stuff. It’s a testament to his management style and dedication to sharing with the industry. I’m still here, driving back to Chicago tonight, hoping I have better luck than George.

I have been to Animal Farm multiple times, but have not been to any WISPA events. This was my first. AF is great, very technical and I enjoyed that aspect very much every time I've been there. So for my first WISPA event, it felt very much like AF, but again, AF gets a bit more technical. However, I did not find WISPAmerica lacking technical stuff at all. More than enough to satisfy my geek. Freakin awesome, in no particular order: Chuck's State of WISPA speech Commissioner O'rielly's speech and Q&A Vendors putting up with our shit Nathan letting us invade his office Other stuff I forgot because there was a lot going on No, the entire group was not huddled around the Telrad booth the entire time. Everyone was very friendly and I had a great time. Good food. The STL Station is a very interesting place. If the show was horrible, sure fooled me. And Cambium needs to bring shirts next time. :O ducking.......... We left early this afternoon to get ahead of the snow storm coming into Chicago.. mission failed, it sucked for about the last 100 miles.

No matter how well executed a show is, there are always people who are not happy, and things which don't go as planned. I sure didn't see any signs that this was any more prevalent, in fact, if anything it was less prevalent.

It’s my understanding that the Telrad product is worth looking at. I was also told the Venue was very nice. What caught my attention though was several comments about the lack of organization and support. This may not be a majority opinion but it came up on several fronts. I guess several vendors are a little upset and someone said the room blocks aren’t being charged right. The word ‘Drama’ was also used… A reference was made about Trina. With the loss of Rick, I feared this would happen. The board should just apologize and put him back in place. I worry about Vegas this year.
