.. as opposed to bringing people (and yourself) in for the sole job of socializing w/each other, eating and generally ignoring the customers
.. Seriously - I like the idea of a designated watcher.
The question of security cameras came into my mind as well - the Donald E. Stephens hosts shows and conventions all the time, so not just for a one-time, 3 day event - I can see the feasibility of doing this on their part overall as I'm sure theft is a regular, unfortunate occurrence. I thought the Schaumburg Convention Center at the Renaissance (not far and where some shows have been held) has this, but I could be wrong.
Quick add-on: I agree in that not about onus of responsibility being on venue, it's on the individual vendor - - I just think security cameras might act as some sort of deterrent and at least give the party at loss/police something to go on.
