Editor & Publisher referred to the event as “The Big Empty”. This type of morbid humor is usually one of the indicators of flagging hope in one’s profession.

Newspapers & Technology conducted a survey asking members whether they would be attending Nexpo. They reported in March 2008 that for the first time in their history, more people said they were NOT going than going.

Philip M. Stone reporting on FollowTheMedia.com says, “Vendors seemingly were standing around talking to one another more than they were to prospects”. The number of attendees is estimated here at 450.

Columbia Journalism Review puts the registered attendees at 609 however they mention that they “would be surprised if even that many had shown up on the floor”.

Previous NEXPO Attendance figures are ridiculously hard to get, but here’s what I found.  Submit corrections with a cited source please.
