The exhibition as a whole was less impressive than I expected.  I did hear noises about the scale of the exhibition being scaled back at Focus this year because companies are focusing (excuse the pun) on IBMS Congress.

For an individual, I think get togethers like this can be really usefull.  You need to work out what you want from the conference and see what day matches your needs.
