I would say yes. Expo, while not the largest, used to be considered the premiere show due to all the seminars, industry people, and big announcements. It seems, however, that Expo has been on a steady decline for years, while TPF has been on the rise. I know so many people that went to TPF for the first time this year, which further illustrates how TPF is now perceived as something that's not to be missed. Conversely, I know a lot of people who have no desire to go back to Expo anytime soon.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that other shows don't have their merits. There are a lot of great shows out there. It just seems pretty clear to me that TPF has officially become the show that carries the most weight in the hobby.

Sadly, I'm not surprised to hear all of the negative comments about Expo. One of the main reasons I started this thread was so that Mike would read it, and hopefully reconsider how he runs his show.
