Event Dates: Feb. 29 - March 4, 2008
CAMEX continues to be a huge benefit to attendees. For some it is the only chance they get to network with others in the industry and see new products. For those coming to buy, it provides savings through show specials that make the trip worthwhile.
Overall, Mega Sessions and Special Events were a success. The Opening Night Reception (TropiCAMEX) was rated a 4.0 on a scale of 1-low to 5-high, which is up from 3.3 in 2006. The Organizational Creativity, Disney Style Mega Session received a 4.3 and the Opening Mega Session with Lyn Heward was rated a 4.1, both higher than the sessions presented in the same time slots at CAMEX 2006. On the down side, a significant number of respondents indicated their disappointment with the boxed breakfasts served at the morning events.
Forty-two percent (42%) of respondents indicated the convention site (Orlando) positively influenced their decision to attend the show, which is up from 27% in 2006. However, the hotel rating fell from 4.3 to a 3.8 on a scale of 1-low to 5-high.
Education fell slightly compared to last year's overall satisfaction rating. Based on respondent comments, the small drop may be at least in part attributed to the difficulty of choosing between multiple enticing sessions presented within the same time block.
