    Anyone thinking about this would be advised to go to the website and read what is written under the heading "Exhibiting Information."
    Most especially this sentence "the visitors to The Retirement Show are a captive audience who are ready to spend - with you!"
    It's basically a lot of companies after your money

    mmm well yes - so is just about any show or exhibition. So what?

    This one last year was moderately interesting - not worth a special journey from a long distance but if you can get there cheaply or for nothing......

    No I didn't buy anything.

    "So What?" Wow! That's a bit strong. no need to strike an attitude love.

    This is a MoneySaving forum and I am simply pointing out that the way it's presented to the public and the way it's being presented to companies is very different.

    There is also a difference between exhibitons which are genuinely about giving information and those which are about marketing and selling.

    I'm only pointing out to moneysavers what the objectives of this one are. No need for you to get upset.
