This is an excellent "regional show", in that it's got many of the vendors that exhibit at the SCAA international show, of course, just on a smaller scale. I would think that anyone in the specialty coffee biz would take advantage of going if they're within driving distance to Vegas and can work it into their schedule. If you're an international visitor, then I'd be looking at the Coffee Fest locations throughout the US, and pick one that's also in an area of the US that you'd like to visit. For me, Seattle and Vegas seem to be two very good venues for food and beverage shows. I'll be in Vegas on other business and will enjoy walking the exhibit floor and maybe attending a few training sessions.

I went to Seattle's last year and it was definitely worth it. I can't say for sure on Vegas', but I'm guessing it's pretty much the same.
