I went a few times in New York and Las Vegas. The expo itself had little value to me, but I liked the possibility to meet many traders there. Just make sure to bring your BS detector, because there will be plenty of it, BS I mean.
carefull with where you give your name and address you'll be hounded with 'get rich quick' junk mail for eternity
Make sure you ask for performance documentation from the... oh thats right ...they do not have any... Never mind...
The "free" seminars are pretty much infomercials, with little value, except for the vendors/gurus. As I said earlier, bring your BS detector, and be prepared to hear it a lot !
i went to las vegas last year. it was fun and interesting and i am glad i went to one but wouldn't do again. it is pretty much infected with forex get rich pitches but there were a few good trading seminars. last year one of the biggest exhibitions was franz making big money trading live. we all know what happened there.
