Guys, I know what you're talking about when you say it's the same old same old. I worked for Lexington Center for 8+ years. The show is about 90% the same every year. I agree with you and think there is room for improvement. I also think the show could reinvent itself from year to year and incorporate new booths, products, etc. Turning it into more of a fishing seminar show with lots of product would make us all happy!

Now for reality... The show sells booth space and they sell out every year. The big "show money" comes from the vendors, not from the folks paying to get in the door. That's the bottom line. This said, if you're the show promoter and you're filling booths, why change???
