The year before other big ones stopped exhibiting already, like magma, videorama and other giants in Europe

have a look yourself, the only big show booths that are left are live-strip.com and freeones
For consumers, those sites would be good to have there for sure.

you see any big DVD companies? Marc Dorcel & Pleasure maybe - that's it.
Pleasure=Beate Ushe, not sure why they would attend both shows, since they initiated the 2nd show erofame

and trust me - consumers will be really disappointed this year, thats why i said the real problem will be next year. also i don't believe that the consumers are the real cashcows - when 50% of the hall space remain empty they are missing out on a few 100k Euro in revenue. that has to hurt.
They will have less hall space so people won't notice I guess.

i have been through a couple discussions about this with a dozen companies who used to exhibit at Venus and i kind of feel bad for the Venus organizers. but not listening to your clients is what makes this happen.
