    With the world situation you might be asking about icast 2021. 2020 might be canceled and besides will any product be able to get here and be distributed for sale in 2020 anyway?

    Yeah, I was given an opportunity to go this year and have plane tickets purchased so I’m really hoping this mess gets settled by then. I have been looking forward to this for awhile.

    Yea, I thought I’d look down the road a bit towards brighter times.

    I think this is a trust worthy group, so I thought maybe someone would be willing to share some secret gear that is supposed to come out. Anyway I hear we have $1000 a piece coming. I gotta figure out what to spend it on.

    Everyone I work with is very quiet. A lot of “wait and see” going on. Additionally, a lot of product prototyping has been slowed down or halted with many of the manufacturing companies in China and elsewhere.

    Only a guess, but I think if we get into May and this mess is still going on, Manufactures and Reps will be getting very creative on how new products are ro9lled out to the buyers. Would be fascinating to see the general public having a first look and then see how the demand translates to the buyers. Considering now, 75% (or more) of the new innovative products never see retail life on a national level.
