Yeh.. unfortunately this year it wasnt worth making the effort to get out of the cafe to go! Not much variety in terms of exhibitors (you could do all the stalls in about an hr), and the PA system in the Marketing Workshop was set so quiet, even tho members of the audience asked the speaker to "speak louder" most of us couldnt make out what was being said... A number of people walked out. Sean did come in to turn it up, but unfortunately it didnt seem to make a lot of difference as the speaker was also quite softly spoken. Fingers crossed they get the issues sorted before they run another one... previous yrs have had very good reviews, this was the first yr I have gone, but left there today feeling like I wasted a day.

I appreciate your comments but.... I feel it is worth the effort to go no matter how quickly you as an individual may have been able to get around. Pity about the PA.... Myself and partner (that's business partner as in the real sense of the word, not the modern social politikal derivative) came from out of town to attend and even if we could get around the stands in an hour, we networked with many people we know already, some of whom we met at previous Cafe Biz'es! Spent the afternoon there, and I would call that productive and really refreshing to get out of my own business for a day. It would be nice to have more trade stands and yes that would make it more interesting for cafe attendants, however for a city the size of Sydney I would say rather that the "local" cafe industry
