3/5/08 fellow conventioneers

The Riviera Convention Center is large enough that it can accommodate multiple conventions at the same time. During our stay here, we've had three other conferences: Contemporary Handcrafted American Made Products (CHAMP), University of Wisconsin Madison, and National Fire Prevention Association. We don't have any interactions with the other folks, but we do pass them in the hall, peek into their exhibit hall, see the names of their presentations on the wall outside the room as we walk by, etc. CHAMP has had the most interesting people participating. It seems the convention is just a sales convention with exhibitors having their products on display and buyers perusing the wares. We've seen a little of what the wares are and can only imagine the other handcrafted products. It has definitely provided for some interesting conversation.
