Sharp Practice in Las Vegas

Exhibitors at last month's PGA International Golf Show complained that representatives from non-exhibiting companies were conducting business in the Las Vegas Convention Center. That in itself is not unusual, but it seems that, at least in one case, these representatives wore exhibitor badges, giving them the same access as exhibitors who had paid for booth space - something which show owner Reed Exhibitions no doubt will stop. The attendance for the show was announced at 15,600, down from 22,227 a year ago.
