Showing Signs of Industry Rebound --EDITOR'S notebook

For those who walked the busy show floor, attended often-crowded seminars or even clamored into the larger exhibitors' theater-like booth presentations, "positive, optimistic attendees," "strong leads" and "better than anticipated sales results" were words heard from many of the 570+ exhibitors. The same upbeat mood held true for our annual Hall of Fame & Gold Ink Awards gala (pictures from that event appear on this page). All told, nearly 38,000 attendees, representing more than 9,600 companies, took part in the show—held a little more than a year after 9/11 rocked the PRINT 01 event.
