I remember Merritt lobbying to disband the EOC saying there was just no
future in these type of events. Seems about right that now one of these
type of events bearing his name would have fixed price tables.

As for the numbers, they look very good for me. Maybe if I figure out the
right people to kiss up to I might score an invite for next year.

At the recent Merritt Huntington Symposium in Virginia Beach last weekend,
they sold table space at $200 a table. The tables are like 2 x 6 feet.
They had seven vendors that each purchased between two and four tables.
They had an attendance of 55 people over the two day symposium, even
though 110 had registered. That kind of success should weed out just
about all the vendors from next year's symposium...
