There was excitement in the air (plus a lot of unusual moisture) when the LDI show returned to Las Vegas Nov. 22-24. Along with new products, it seemed as though a lot of new companies were being launched this time around, as 300-plus exhibitors arrived from 72 countries around the world to impress a projected crowd of 8,000 attendees. And even many of the less-familiar brands showcased their offerings with professionally designed booth presentations.
Taking place the week before the 2013 holiday shopping season kicked off with Thanksgivingkah Thursday and Black Friday, the show took the wraps off all the goodies in store for 2014 and beyond. Everywhere you turned, it seemed, you could be dazzled by an elaborately preprogrammed light show set to music. For me, it was as though Christmas came early.
As in years past, the three days rocketed by way too quickly. There never seems to be enough time find all those hidden gems in all the booths. Luckily, the PLSN staff was on hand, taking it all in, capturing some product demonstrations and photos from around the show.
