I believe for the last few years IPROF attendance has been less than 100.
 I do not remember the dues ever being $50 and I have attended all the
IPROFs.

I generally agree about not having a vendor show, but consider this:  IPROF
is the only true exclusively MPE gathering.  It might be feasible to have a
table or two where vendors could put product sheets about new MPE products.
 It sure beats looking for these products all over HP World.  The vendor
would have to be registered and be in attendance at IPROF.

Kind regards,

As long as you're asking, I would very much like to see IPROF return to its
roots, a very small attendance of 100-200 people, limited by nothing more
than
first-come, first-served rules, held at HP, with very small registration
fees,
$50 or less (most likely implying the withdrawal of Interex from having any
part of IPROF), offering a chance for the SIGs to talk to HP directly about
their most pressing concerns.

I would be absolutely opposed to a vendor show. HP World already adequately
serves that purpose, and there is very little value in duplicating HP
World.
