In the late 80s and 90s I went to Comdex every Fall. There’s just something about Vegas in the Fall. The last event I went to was in 1999. There were close to a quarter-million IT professionals who followed me. It was the best way to find out what was coming to IT in the near future. I think the Internet has replaced Comdex, with a little help from the dot-com bust and 9/11. Last year only 40,000 made the trek to Vegas, just a smidgen of its once mammoth great self.
Officially it is just a one year hiatus and is scheduled to return in November 2005. It may return, but will be something different. And I, along with about 150,000 other individuals will never go to another Comdex. See ya.
