Thank you for admitting you sent me to the wrong source.
That being said, in your KSL link for the summer it says this: "An estimated 29,000 people are coming to Salt Lake City this week for the event, including outdoor industry manufacturers, retailers and suppliers responsible for more than $25 million in spending, according to data compiled by Visit Salt Lake".
Some of that is the retailers but most of that it is consumers from other states. If it was only manufacturers, retailers, or suppliers it wouldn't have said including. Also included in that number is individual people who work for retail companies ...each company sends more than one person to represent their company. We're not talking about number of retail, manufacturing, or supplying employees...we are talking about number of companies(not how many are within the company). This is from outdoor retailers website them self showing sponsors for their planned winter show, it shows 15 sponsors. http://outdoorretailer.com/summer-market/index.shtml
Also from their website specifically, This is the sponsors who will be there for their summer show. Coincidentally they also have 15 sponsors for the summer as well. http://outdoorretailer.com/summer-market/index.shtml
As for your KSL link in the winter, that 22,000 number is the number of workers; not companies (each company has a lot more than one sponsor). It's also important to understand that both of these shows described in both articles already happened. They don't have anything to do with future outdoor retailer shows which is what this topic was about. I agree with you based on their word that they're going to honor their 2018 contract and there will be a show. But their own website indicates there will be more like 15 sponsors(I have no idea how many people each sponsor will send to represent their company). The sales generated will be reduced through 2018 but they will likely be entirely eliminated after 2019 when the show will likely no longer be hosted in Utah.
