Exhibitors pleasantly surprised by DEMA Show 2021
“The show overall was good. Smaller and slower than normal, but it seemed those who came were serious about doing business. It was nice to see familiar faces too.”

While the show is significantly smaller in scale this year due the Covid-19 pandemic and travel restrictions, there were new equipment launches happening such as the new Avelo System (diveavelo.com) this week at the Image Resource Center (Booth #2327) and Room S227 as well as a full schedule of seminars taking place in various meeting spots on the floor in adjoining rooms.
Tune in for talks about advances in postdive bubble monitoring, emergency action planning, managing unusual dive accidents, and more. See the streaming schedule here.

This review comes on the coat tails of the other virtual dive show, Scuba.Digital, which we attended a few weeks prior and the conclusions are just about the same; The conference component in which attendees can listen into a range of webinar-style presentations worked reasonably well.
The rest of it, however, such as networking activities which is an essential part and, to entities like ourselves, the most important aspect of taking part in dive shows, absolutely did not.
