The annual Infocomm show seems to be hopping between Florida and Las Vegas these days.

I suspect that the thought of a week in Las Vegas for their sales team was too much for many of the European accountants. The presence from Europe may have been far worse but for C2000 inviting a jumbo jet full of European dealers.
