Not to mention trailer parking and car parking every day without a break in price for the exhibitors. They did NOTHING for you. We talked to Bob U right away, he told us to "write a letter".

I'm not going to try to make any excuses for Bob U. as I wasn't there. I do know Bob is a gentleman and has always been extremely committed to the show and the comfort of the exhibitors.
As for the parking situation, this is always an issue in nearly every city we deal with. I can assure you, we battle with the cities and the buildings over parking issues and we usually don't win.
Most of the cities convention centers are really not interested in public shows, as they can generate much more income with trade shows.
On a more positive note, I was able to arrange FREE trailer (only) parking INSIDE for sYc Showcase participants at the March 3-4, 2007 Chevy Vettefest show at McCormick Place.
Perhaps sometime in the near future I will get a chance to work directly with the Pittsburg WOW show.
