I attended InspectionWorld but I did not attend the Software Shootout sessions as they were not approved for state CE in TN. Everytime I went past the room that it was being held in the attendance was fairly small. I would say that 20-30 folks were in each session, I would imagine it was only attended by folks looking for new software.
All of the software looks the same. Nothing really new and exciting. All still have wretched boilerplate verbiage. All in all I think I counted 8 software vendors!
One noticeable absence from the exhibit hall was Pro-Lab, they had apparently signed up for the show as they were listed in print, but they did not have a booth. It was very nice to see a reduction in the mold labs at this show, perhaps we are starting to make the turn in the right direction!
