There must be a virus emanating from the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City that makes trade show companies want to create absurd and sure to fail trade shows.

We recently witnessed this virus killing CeBIT America and TechX (or whatever it was called). Now some of the folks that created the one time powerhouse PC Expo along with some folks that helped destroy CeBIT and TechX have all joined together to create a killer monster virus called C3.

This new great idea is supposed to take place this June at Javits. Check out the Web site describing this show and tell me if you can figure out what the show covers? Also note that not one exhibitor has signed up to date.

Having run a few "Turkeys" in my time I would suggest that this show is going to make CeBIT America look like the greatest tech trade show that ever took place in American history.

C3 probably means "Certain Failure 3x."
