Posted by Michael549 on Tue Jul 28 11:09:24 2020, in response to Re: LIRR+Park Avenue, posted by Stephen Bauman on Mon Jul 27 11:45:47 2020. In NYC in the mid-1980's and 1990's at the Jacob Javits Center the PC-Expo was held. Usually this event would take place using the entire complex - all levels and crowded with people, exhibits, products. The PC-Expo at the time was a fun event often taking place over 3-4 days of the week. Of course this was well before the extension of the #7 train - which meant that hundreds of folks would walk the length of 34th Street to attend, and return home with bags of "goodies". The convention planners also had coach buses to help folks get to and from nearby hotels or Grand Central Station. It was a fun time.Since the days of the PC-Expo, another group, Interop, has operated similar but smaller scale conventions at the Jacob Javits Center. One of their recent affairs could barely fill one whole room at the convention center, lasting just 2 days. The most recent conventions will be held totally ONLINE due to COVID-19, with podcast seminar discussions, and other information presented online. It is doubtful that these kinds of in-person mass conventions will be held any time soon. Mike |
