It will be a challenge to find the right buyer for these products.
The U.S. economy is more integrated into the world and wealthier individuals have the ability to learn languages and travel internationally. They can take advantage of their resources.
They are the most natural strategic buyer for these events because of their strength in design engineering and manufacturing, but I don't think they'd have interest in buying shows that are declining.
What [Reed] announced is they have a defined group of vertical shows. It's not an independent company with an existing infrastructure and management and accounting, and enough scale necessarily to be a platform. A financial buyer would have to build the infrastructure around it. It's much easier in a 'carve-out' situation like this for a strategic buyer that already has that infrastructure and overhead and back office to be able to absorb new products.
