Hello All as a vendor who has been at the last 10 IMTS shows here ate the
facts. Expensive but $60 K I don't think so. Also if someone wanted to put
together a CNC workshop there are lots of spaces available for paid
conferences. As a famous Detective Joe Friday once said
"All we want are the facts."

Chicago is definitely a special case. They are the worse I have seen
and I have worked dozens of shows in the midwest.
At one time, I was told that New York City was very similar.
Everyone other place I have been has been much more reasonable, if you
bring it yourself. If not the prices are as you describe or more!
If you don't bring your own tables/chairs/booth etc they typically gouge
you.
Best to plan ahead or bring a stack of $50 bills.
