Live From Las Vegas
Day one at the ASD/AMD Military Tactical Outdoor Show revealed a fresh new show layout and fostered a guarded optimism about improvements in the show experience and the upgrading of the traditionally slower summer show. The new layout created an airy, open feel with much easier access to the show floor for buyers, and even a nice view of the Las Vegas skyline for exhibitors located in the front of the hall. Aisles were wider and the decorative scheme of black and green gave the military theme more impact, while adding a soothing yet business-like atmosphere to the show floor. Many exhibitors noted a more cooperative attitude from the show decorators and greater interaction with show management personnel on the show floor. About the only negative for day one was an underwhelming amount of traffic, especially for an opening day. Stay tuned - tomorrow, we report on both the ASD/AMD MTO show and the brandy-new Army Navy Military Expo.
