The More Things Change . . .

NOVEMBER 10, 2015
The More Things Change . . .
I'm a bit of a history nerd.  I always smile when I hear economists and politicians say "it will be different this time," because it rarely is.  That's because while the world seems to be changing quickly, the deep-down basic way people interact with that world does not.
 
Folks who have been to the Southern Shows Inc. offices have seen our collection of prints from the first trade show, the "Great Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations" held at the Crystal Palace in London in 1851.  As I look at these prints each day, I'm reminded that the people attending that show were using the same senses we use today - touch, sight, smell, hearing, and taste - to experience their visit.  And that the more of these senses companies incorporate into their exhibit, both then and today, the more successful they will be.
