Westec is back and we’re looking forward to the show as usual. We must admit that we anticipated last year’s show to be somewhat of a dud, but hats off to the SME on pulling off a well attended show despite the economic downturn. With this years show quickly approaching, SME has done an excellent job of promoting and providing better resources for visitors. For example, the 2010 Westec website is not only well themed, but it is the best functioning site to date. The show is a 3 day event and also sports a smaller floor footprint. The four technical sessions offered are also appropriate for those looking to expand capability or change shop direction for future opportunities.
