I'm considering going to Expo this year since my girlfriend and I are already planning a Chicago trip, but I really don't know much about it because their website is terrible. The only convention I've been to is TPF so that's all I can compare to. As I understand it, Chicago has many fewer games to play and is more speaker focused. Is that accurate? Can anyone who has gone before give me an idea of what to expect? Is it worth it to go all days? I also want to note I am going to TPF again next year so this isn't replacing that. Just want to know if this is worth going to. Thanks

Since I don't care too much about new game announcements until they are at a location I can play, and since I won't know anyone else there to make contacts or friends with, it sounds like I am better off skipping this. I enjoy watching seminars and I do want to tour the stern factory, but it sounds like the actual playing of pinball is rather minimal at Expo. Maybe we'll just skip it and spend that money to go to the hall of fame in Vegas.

Yes, phof would not be the only reason to be in Vegas, just a stop.
