I would submit to you we don't know what the emerging conglomerate will look like...But regardless if it has to rely on dog and pony shows then we are doomed...

Wood Dog: That makes sense to me. I did see a couple other Building Supply companies on the list. Maybe they don't have the connections we do and are trying to gain some exposure.

Prior to retirement, I spent most of my career in the wholesale hardware and building material business. District Mgr. with Do-it-Best (old HWI) and Ace Hardware and attended National Shows across the States. Manufacturers are the majority of the booths, but major wholesalers also attend with their booths as well.(Here in the US) Show attendee's at the ME shows are probably construction companies looking for product sources. There also may be some retailers from the region attending, but don't know how the mix would be there.
Perhaps someone else on the board would know more about attendance.
