Software vendors were finally ready to demonstrate Web services, only to find themselves with a smaller audience than ever before at Comdex Fall 2002. Organizer Key3Media, which at press time was considering bankruptcy, reported approximately 125,000 IT managers and resellers attended the event.
For those who made it, the show still managed a range of sessions that covered project management, e-business planning and return-on-investment strategies.
Comdex Fall 2002 ran Nov. 18-22.
