I attend ITEC in my city of year. Essentially it is a somewhat small trade
show focused at business users. They had a hole thing on linux/open source
this year. Around 300 companies have booths.

Indianapolis, Indiana, we are attempting to put together a pavilion in our
event to showcase all facets of Linux.  We are looking to showcase commerce
as well as associations and education.  I am e-mailing you to get a better
idea of how to approach these above mentioned industry segments.  What are
some common issues facing those within the Linux community?  Are these
issues something that could be addressed by getting in front of 8-10,000
buying team members from every major industry segment?  In the past, have
trade shows or expos been an effective venue for showcasing Linux services
and education?  What traditionally have been the major points of education
for Linux? Any problems getting that desired message out there?
