COMDEX Cancelled Again

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-a-huge-surprise dept.

An anonymous reader noted that COMDEX has been cancelled for the second year in a row. And meanwhile, thousands of IT professionals rejoice that they won't be again exposed to strange strains of viruses that their immune system can't handle.

    That's pretty much what I was thinking. I'd much rather attend a convention that was more focused on a smaller segment of technology.

    Since the bubble burst is there really a need for the huge monstrosity that is COMDEX?

    Add to that the fact that Vegas is wasted on me (see my sig) and I'd much rather go to a small, focused convention that's more local (I'm within an hour or so drive of both Chicago and Milwaukee).
