They should move it to Denver, then after one year and everyone tries to drive i70 to go skiing it will come back to SLC on its own.

OR could stop inviting so many textile types, and focus on real players. The demo day in the summer is a major hit and attendees are coming for that one day, a good thing expense wise. Ease of transportation means SLC should win, summer and winter. OR show management oversells the booths, then whines much like a baseball team that wants a new city, more bucks.

The exhibitor space is only half the battle. You can add space, add exhibitors and that adds more people coming to the show…. to a city that doesn’t have enough hotel and dining space.

If Utah really wants to show a commitment to the outdoor industry it should adopt policies favorable to outdoor enthusiasts, instead of trying to sell off public lands to the highest bidder.

Also, please switch back to the old blog format. It’s really annoying to have to click on each post.
