Unfortunately, that's likely how the show floor will look after the doors open. At least that's been my experience with newspaper trade shows in the past few years.

Frank summarizes well and Gordo forecasts I think somewhat accurately.
I suspect because of the PA location as opposed to the lost Las Vegas Show - this one may have traffic, but nothing like the past. This is mainly due to the issues stated by Frank and documented by NAPL where Newspapers since the last Wall Street collapse here in the USA have lost ~ 40% of all banners. Poof gone.
The future for this market is squarely NOT in double wide presses it is mainly in single wide presses, that print reliable color including circulars, commercial, etc.
