This doesn't make a lot of sense to me, there version of FPGA
works with the schematic front end, that's there whole advantage
over the others, no HDL required. Nexar, has the full schematic
capture package in it. It doesn't have PCB or CAMtastic though.

As for the trade shows, they cost a heap to attend, both in
dollars and man power, what is it that you can't talk to them 
about via the web/email groups ? If they attend these shows
and there are many around the world, they will have to charge 
more, as it's the users that ultimately pay for them.
