EXPO Magazine’s 2006 Best New Show Award Winners
In addition to e-mail and online advertising, they ran about 100 print ads a year for both markets, all of which were traded. The cost: About $2 million, says Pretner.
The results: The first show attracted 60 percent of the top 200 U.S. retailers, including buyers from all 50 states and 83 countries, and featured 10 of the top 25 U.S. furniture manufacturers. Capitalizing on the success of the first show and lease-up of the building, World Market Center received $225 million in additional financing for construction of Phase Two, which is already fully leased, and future building at the complex. World Market Center launched the second Las Vegas Market in January 2006.
Lessons learned: Forecasting attendance was a moving target, say Pretner. World Market Center doubled its original estimates.

About Ken Rosenthal
The week when the Diamondbacks or Indians trade for A's right-hander Dan Haren. Maybe even the week that the Mariners or Dodgers obtain Orioles left-hander Erik Bedard and some team finally acquires Twins lefty Johan Santana. The trade of Haren could happen first and the Diamondbacks and Indians, two clubs deep in young talent, are in the best position to make a deal, according to major-league sources. Once Kuroda signs and Haren is traded, the A's Joe Blanton would become the best right-hander available in trade or free agency, giving general manager Billy Beane greater trade leverage. From every indication, Beane is poised to acquire younger players and gear toward the opening of Cisco Field in 2011. Such a rebuilding program would raise questions about the A's interest in Barry Bonds, who would fit with the club only if it planned to contend.
