Thanks, and interesting. Of course, there has always been some hotel room action ancillary to the main event, but it sounds like maybe even Rosemont can no longer accommodate the demand for space to wheel and deal. If they can put up these data centers the size of the Pentagon seemingly overnight, seems like there might be money to made building a mega-convention center somewhere on the order of twice the size of the big ones now to handle this and other conventions that have outgrown the current generation of trade shows. Certainly seems like ours is busting at the seams, with wait lists for expensive tables, the proliferation of suitcase dealers, etc.
