AI Highlights
  • - Attendance claims of 12,000 and buyers are disputed; attendees about 1,000.
  • - Booth 10x10 starts at $3,000; electric and parking extra; hours 9-6, 3 days.

I'm a first time vendor at the Surf Expo who claims to have 12,000 in attendance and have buyers from all over the world going to their show. What a lie.

Try at the most 1000 people in attendace for 3 days. The Show booth price just for a 10x10 starts out at $3000.00. This does not include electric is and parking for three days. The show is horrible!

The worse part is that the show for 3 days long and hours from 9-6 pm, We took a $4000.00 loss on this show with the booth and expenses from hotel and flight. I recommend every company who does shows to never do this one.

This is the worse I have ever done and I do about 40 expos a year. Don't ever do it unless you feel like throwing money away!!!

Loss:
$4000
Cons:
  • Surf expo
  • Lies about attendance
  • Worst expo show in the us

Preferred solution: Full refund
