 We anticipate that company's will have to make a choice between the events.
The
 large equipment suppliers have made that decision to support the new event.
We
 anticipate that the attendees wanting to see this equipment will choose to
attend the
 IPC SMEMA trade show.

 Thanks for the feedback.
 Dave

Hi Dave!

     Hmmm, shades of the IRL, CART, and the Indy 500...  B^ )  Glad to see it
happen! I was wondering when one of our "own" was gonna start running things.
Reed Exhibitions has done a good job putting on the show over the past years,
but seemed to me to be turning a little bit greedy, and started putting too
many restrictions on everyone. I think most everybody that's exhibited at
NEPCON will welcome the change.

     So is this only show IPC/SMEMA is thinking about? Any rumblings about
doing a show around SMI's timeframe? I know Cookson would love that!!
