« Previous Story | The Industry Report Home Page | Next Story » It's All Over But The Ka-Chinging In VegasBy Craig Altschul 
Attendance to the show was estimated at over 20,000, with buyers and sellers all watching closely to see if this year's total tops the $1,781,479,981 that ka-chinged through the cash registers for the 2006-07 year, virtually evenly divided between apparel, equipment, and accessories. The fall numbers look strong. The '08 show continued the SIA mantra of "it's better to be green." An important focal point of the show was ECOsource Market Segment exhibit. Products from more than 50 brands that either are made from recycled materials, are recyable and/or sustainable were on display. SIA purchased renewable energy certificates in the amount of 225,000 kilowatt hours for 100 percent of the electric power used during the show. The purchase, SIA says, will prevent 313,200 pounds of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere. Beyond that? We'll never tell. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. At least for one more year. « Previous Story | The Industry Report Home Page | Next Story » |
