On the plus side, real estate and financial seminar producers may be in for a boom period for the rest of the year with low-cost seminars on educating homeowners to protect their assets.
For others, hard times are a-comin', according to Dana Blankenhorn of Moore's Law, who opines that the new bankruptcy laws coming in October will lead to a recession.
It's an interesting premise and quite logical.
If all goes according to Dana's prophecy, here are some areas to watch:
- consumer show attendance on decline, with resulting fewer exhibitors next year
- fewer self-employed people attending B2B seminars
- less personal investment in continuing education
- organizers in bubble real estate markets (CT, MA, CA, NYC) may find it more difficult to recruit
Who knows... we may even start to see population shifts - like people moving back here to Pittsburgh for its quality affordable living!
