At NRA meeting
Posted by David Hardy · 17 May 2009 08:44 AM
Haven't blogged much for past few days since I'm in Phoenix at the NRA annual meeting, and busy as heck. I heard the dinner last night was the largest dinner in the State's history, with 5,500 people. (I suppose it's not hard to calculate which is the largest, because anything in that ballpark would have to take place in the convention center). Attendance estimates I've heard range from 55,000 to 70,000.

And, which, I forgot to mention, are shows which are spread out over half of Las Vegas.
Attendance in the 55-70k range puts it on par with some of the biggest vertical industry trade shows. To get much bigger, you have to look at the monster horizontal trade shows like CES, which usually weigh in at 100-120k.
