It's not a failure on our part, we started sketching on the show sometime in september, and by then we looked at what was shown last year, the year before that and by looking at other shows (both by us and others). It's a content thing, too. Either you have one day pretty packed with things, or you go two days which might feel scant.. and then how will you spread the seminars? What if there are more people on saturday and only half on sunday? What would the sunday exhibitors/spokepeople say then? Either way we do it, people will ask us to do differently.
There are people that has to travel some 8-12h by train, they wouldn't be happy if it was on sunday too (as an example).
In september you can only make rough plans and you really have no idea how many might accept the invitation or how large the fair will be. If more and more exhibitors keep coming, and more and more people start to show up for our annual shows, we will indeed extend them.
We've taken a huge step up in quality this year, both looking at exhibitors and where the show will be held, but if we try to change too much in too little time, there's a larger chance we'll run out of "fuel" and fail.
We've so far given you a little taste of what is to be, but we have many more surprises up our sleeves. To put it differently, we've only just started...
Unfortunately, there aren't that many of those who has that burning enthusiasm about the platform and are willing to put some effort into doing something like this, but we're hoping that by lighting a bright flair like this, we'll attract people willing to help out.
