iHobby Expos

Did they give a reason for dropping the iHobby Expos?  It seems that an attendance of 19,000 at this years would indicate it isn't due to "lack of interest" (on the part of the consumer) ....

iHobby Expos

Although the public has been allowed into iHobby Expo during certain hours, the event is structured primarily as a trade show for manufacturers and wholesale suppliers to present their products to retail hobby dealers. The retail world has changed drastically in recent years and the surviving hobby dealers have not shown sufficient interest to make the event sustainable. .

ah ...

Now I understand.  Thank you.

Seems that the public is interested ... just need to figure out the format; an opportunity here I'm thinking.
