It was real encouraging to see such a great turnout for Labelexpo Americas 2012. According to the show management, this year's rendition posted a record performance with 14,300+ attendees-up 12 percent versus 2010. This was no great surprise to me, as for several weeks building up to the event it was obvious that the exhibiting companies were excited and gearing up to put on a good show. From my side of things you can get a reading on this by the number of press releases, press conferences, and contacts for booth meetings. For Labelexpo, I could have cloned myself several times over and still not have seen everything I wanted to see. And further, my one relaxing 15-minute lunch in the press room did not allow enough time for the journalists at my table to solve the Chicago teachers' union strike-although I was pleased to hear later that this got resolved without our assistance.
