Perhaps not surprising in the current economic climate, the attendance figures of National Electronics Week were 1750 (excluding delegates and press), about 200 down on last year. The show itself was considerably smaller – the organisers say it was 40% smaller than the previous year – which clearly accounts for a fall in attendance. Despite this it’s a little disappointing to see that the tie-in the Electronics Weekly (Electronics Weekly Live) failed to deliver a boost in visitors.
