Ouch! As a sales person that attends similar shows/events in the electronics industry, that booth does not scream "New and Exciting Technology, come on over and ask us about it!"

Two guys sitting at the back of the booth over a laptop.....

Oh well, the product is such that POET has a target list of customers they want to engage with and to be honest, shows like this have been dying slowly over the last decade. You might run into one or two small companies that may be interested, but by all accounts these events are no longer an effective way of marketing/selling in today's world. You already know who your customers should be and you will hardly ever come up with something that will move the needle doing booth duty anymore. So, although it is a sad setup, it doesn't really hurt POET.
