Hi,

As an attendee at HP WORLD 99 (and many prior ones), I'd like to
make a simple proposal that would make life nicer for all vendor show
attendees *and* vendors:

   Interex should ban (audio) amplifiers from the show.

This means *all* means of amplifying sound!

The goal is to reduce the sound level and to allow people to actually
hear each other!

(As a compromise, if a booth built a soundproof room, they should be
able to have an amplifier in it, *if* you can't hear it from outside the
booth.)

Yes, you could attempt to set a decible level instead ... but that
leaves it open to measurement problems, interpretation, and other
types of debate/indecision/impreciseness/failure.   I'd recommend against this!
