GAMA has released numbers on the recently completed GAMA Trade Show (see 'Up Show in Down Year'), and over-all attendance and the number of stores represented were both up substantially. 

 

The total number of badges was 2175, up from 1974 in 2004, a 10% increase. 

 

Representatives of 541 retail organizations attended the show, up from 466 last year, a 16% increase.
