Tube Dusseldorf is over. My personal feeling is that the show was the best ever. The exhibitors I managed to see during the show were positively happy about the visitors activity. Special thanks to Kip and Stacy for good comments on TubeNet. I will contact you soon. It was cool evening on that Thursday was it Stacy? I am Blues Brothers fan indeed.

As told before, the show has always it's glamour and the reality will come after some time. Exhibitors know very well that there are may kind of promises that visitors give that will never become reality. Unfortunately, that is not easy to understand during the show, only the real life after the show will give the truth. Therefore, I will let the time pass and as promised, will carry out the second "TubeNet Show Survey" sometime during July-August this year.

In the near future, TubeNet will include introduction of new "register system". The program is almost ready and under testing. There are still some bugs that needs to be removed, but once it is ready, every registered members can have full access to their data and change it at any time.

Based on the feedback from the show, there will be several new categories too. Especially steel tube side.

See you around.
