800 billion does sound like a lot, but the number came from their website:

Thanks for the comment,

HAI reported a record in terms of vendors and attendees. Brand new Swiss helicopter, Bell 407′s with guns and glass cockpits, another Eurocopter model (EC145) with Fenestron tail rotor…

Definitely worth visiting if it’s near you – next year Dallas and then Vegas.
