Fairly Flat. The number of exhibitors participating in October trade shows was largely unchanged compared to

2011. Growth crept up 0.1% after declining slightly in September.

Monthly Overview


Autumn Arrivals. Attendance was up 2.5% from October 2011. The gains came after

a soft Spring and Summer.

Consolidated Overview


A ho-hum September brought the Dashboard metrics for Q3 down about where they were a year ago. The

metrics began losing steam after a fast start in Q1. The year 2011 as a whole showed a more definite direction

with all three metrics on the upswing.
