Open letter out from the new DSC CEO (talk about trail by fire). Pertinent part:
Quote:

Though the feedback we have received spans the spectrum from negative to positive, the two most common themes that are reflective of the feedback include this: there is a broad concern from our convention stakeholders regarding our ability to enjoy the degree of success for all stakeholders that we have become accustomed to over the years should our convention remain in Atlanta; and two, there is an expressed strong commitment from our convention partners to continue to support DSC but with a request for improved communication.

I received that as well.

So what I take out of that is they won't be going back to Atlanta. I don't know how much they had to put up to secure it for three years there, but this is going to sting.

In no particular order of importance:

1. Atlanta is a ****hole. Dallas is likely on its way to becoming one.

2. Exhibitors don't much care to be in the same region of the country for consecutive shows. SCI show is in Nashville in two weeks. A not insignificant number of them have elected not to go to Atlanta. They are in Dallas this weekend for the TTHA/SCI show. A few are working both shows this weekend. That's just among the ones I personally know.

3. DFW has a much larger local market for what exhibitors are selling.


I live in Atlanta and it's not a **** hole.
