facility professionals.
"Our focus was on quality, not quanti-
ty, and the overwhelmingly positive feed-
back we've received from both attendees
and exhibitors tells us that we achieved our
goal of enhancing the value of The CSI
Show & Convention this year," said CSI

Borgstrom also noted that attendee

registrants were high-level purchasing
