I believe that the Exhibition was fairly boring. As the H/W market
becomes more commodity based, the exhibits get less interesting, at least
from the viewpoint of a lot of the delegates. God knows about the
visitors.

With this in mind I wonder if some sort of interest could not
be brought into the hall. One idea, and it requires a lot of work,
is to set up some type of networked game whereby vendor machines
were networked, and delegates/visitors competed/played from the different
stands to win/achieve some goal.

Perhaps a central server could display the results/achievements for
the milling crowd.

Alternatively, perhaps some distributed processing task
could be arranged, to demonstrate the power of Open Connectivity amongst
the H/W Exhibitors.
