I just wanted to offer some constructive suggestions, regarding the latest edition of FACTS, which was great apart from...
As a dealer, what "annoyed" me (as it does every year), is that the dealer who gets to build up his booth first (usually a guy with a million boxes) often "expands" his territory at the expense of the guy who stands at his back.
So last year, as usual, my booth lost almost a meter in depth because another dealer "annexed" my space. Then you arrive, the argument starts, and in the end you wind up getting squished in a booth that is way too small. I don't feel I have to pay for that extra wall panel, (or defend my turf verbally) there should be some marking on the floor to indicate the exact dimensions of the booth. That eliminates all arguments.
Make it so, FACTS team!
What can I say about the Japanese drummers, that hasn't been said yet?
I guess nothing....
A dealer's room is noisy enough already. We're here to talk to our customers and make sure they get a great buying experience. I love Japanese drummers, but not when I'm working. Just like I love some romantic mood music in the bedroom, and not Metallica's Greatest Hits. they're just not compatible... ;D
It's a remark I'd make on the entire FACTS experience, actually. I love going into the Fan Village, but last year it was hell on Earth, way too loud. I left after about five minutes.
The humidity. Let me paraphrase Predator on that one: "It was hot and wet, and that's ok when you're with a woman, but not at a convention...."
Man, we almost had tropical rain in that building. Our posters were curling up with humidity. This is basically a problem that needs to be addressed with Flanders Expo.
But, as I said, great convention, I'm just passing on some info!
