Do it for the vendors!

I'm trying to understand why Reefapalooza is choosing to just abandon the Orlando RAP and not attempt a virtual show as an alternative. Boat Shows, Car shows, Home show are all doing this so what's the deal with RAP? They (RAP) have a floor plan that we could click links too each vendor, most vendors have retail ready websites and many of those sites offer LIVE CHAT (for making show deals). With so many vendors sitting on coral that was planned / fragged for this event, why not offer a virtual show option. Any professional show organizer today has the tools to create a well organized show that consist of raffles, deals , live web cast or (pre-recorded information) from planned speakers and a platform that allows paid vendors to conduct a sale that can help alleviate the strains from todays economic punch.

There's some great , energetic staff I've met attending so many past RAP's, I'm hoping they're at least considering it? I'm I alone here, wouldn't a virtual show kick #%^!

Yes, they just moved it to Sept but why wait and why not have both? Sept is plenty of time for vendors to re-load/grow/frag supply. Let's help them move their livestock now.

Have they actually cancelled it?

I know RAP in jersey has just been rescheduled for the fall.
