You are misperceiving because they are more prominent.
Possibly, though perception equals reality for many folks.
I do my best to find speakers that are popular. They come from many companies. Sometimes speakers are not available, not willing or don’t remember anything. As I noted, it's not a hill I'd die on, since I know how hard it is to get commitments from presenters and speakers. Do you have an IBM speaker to refer me? Send me their contact info and I will invite. We have one slot left. For better or worse, my involvement with IBM and the midrange and mainframe units is non existent these days, as I've moved on from companies that had a mainframe in house (mostly financial firms). I thought about them mainly because they are more East Coast than some of the other names I remember. Even if you are talking about exhibits, then there has been a good showing of non-Commodore.
Yeah, no, I was thinking speakers. The exhibits seem much more varied each year, so I can't imagine anyone having issues there (well, some folks just want the world to burn, so they'll complain about anything). Jim
