Many of the companies you mention, if they are at the show at all, will not be in the convention center, but will be somewhere off site, and damn difficult to find.


Still a fun show to visit. You get to see a lot of new stuff, old stuff that's dressed up to appear new, get told things will be released in the next quarter when they might be released in two or three years, if at all.

The big one? You'll get to see a lot of reps talking to each other while you are wanting info, and are being ignored.
