I took the survey, however it did not allow me to add in other comments. So:
The biggest problem I have with most of these Trade shows is that its a bunch of sales/marketing guys who have no actual idea how the product works and cannot answer in depth technical questions. I can get all of the sales and marketing information that they present on the website or from talking to my usual vendors. What I want is a Product Engineering Show where engineers come and demonstrate their products and I can see actual comparisons of performance, ask detailed questions, etc. For example: I want to have talks from engineers who can answer questions. I want to have talks by real operators on how they implement OSPF to redistribute BGP across their networks. I want to hear talks from people that combine Motorola Canopy, Ubiquiti, Ligowave, Mikrotik, and Netsys to create innovative solutions for providing data coverage. All should be able to show examples. Just my 2 cents... - Matt Forbes Mercy wrote: > REMINDER TO PROVIDE INPUT > > WISPA is researching the possibility of putting on a Trade Show this spring. > We put up a survey last week for you to answer basic questions as to what you > would like to see in this show.
