Hi, Brian from Therapy Components here.
This thread is in response to an earlier thread about being happy to not go to Interbike.
Just wanted to inject a few thoughts. Interbike is:
1) Expensive, especially to a smaller company
2) A monumental pain, causing many people to burst into flames due to the effort to get everything ready
3) in a Shythole like vegas.
BUT.......
it is a great place to meet up with all your industry friends, see who's doing what, and yes, even talk to the media and show off your new stuff.
I hate getting ready, I hate paying for it, but i really like being there, showing what we're doing, talking to more companies about various projects, and seeing what everyone's up to.
I think it's a very important venue for the industry, and while it could be done much better, I don't think I'd elect to miss it if I was after the best interests of my company....and I actually like being there...
