Trying to make the futile argument that EPGL has made a major misstep by not attending such a trade show convention shows your lack of understanding of the complexity of the biomem technology being developed and the type of partnerships being sought. EPGL is spending their energy and resources pursuing the appropriate methodology for what they're attempting to accomplish. A little booth at a trade show showing some patents pending and a prototype lens that the big blues at the convention are already aware of or soon will be through direct contact would be a colossal waste of time. Wow.LOL
