Asked in an online poll whether they or anyone from their company would be attending the event, only 16 per cent of voters said they couldn’t find room in their budget for the trip to Melbourne, whilst 14 per cent of voters said they weren’t planning to make any investments this year, so there was no reason to attend.

8 per cent of voters said they would be attending just to see what all the fuss was about, whilst 6 per cent were still undecided.

The five-day event will kick off on May 26 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.
