PR & News Digital Dealer - Is it Back?

Yeah insane. $3500 a ticket to go stare across the hall at vendors with nothing to do? insane. Wees and Raines Hackathon is literally the only thing there of value and I'd rather pay for Wees and Raines to do an in person training literally anywhere else as a matter of principal. Even if it cost 10X the price of these ridiculous industry tickets. Shameful.

Their current online map shows 117 booth spaces and 50 of those are still available. Almost 45% booth space still available with 7 weeks until the show.

Well, we are at the show. Booth slots seemed to have been sold. Lots of vendors here…
Just waiting for the dealers to show up.

And the opening keynote was at 9am...so dealer attendance sounds about as strong as expected!

Hopefully it was not a poor decision for me to skip it this year.

Word on the street is "Ghost Town" was a directionally appropriate reference. Speculation that was likely the last dying whimper of Digital Dealer. I heard 66 registered dealers and less than that showed... Bye Felicia.
