The next biggest suggestion in the thread was to enhance the seminars and the quality and range of topics covered to be more specific and beneficial to people. Something to justify the cost. In fact if done right, people would probably pay more than $250 in order to gain knowledge in areas they lack if it was done correctly and had the quality of speaker on the subject willing to give real solid info.

jeez, glad you caught all that, while some peoples tones may be negative, they, and I, are giving suggestions, links etc.
you are right too, if you had some solid seminars with industry leaders speaking at them (i.e. deancapture for photography), people would pay way more than $250
here are some suggestions for AVN:
"Get your internet content distributed and make twice the money - hosted by Steve Hirsch of Vivid Video and Distribution"
"Photography, A step above - hosted by DeanCapture of Twistys.net"
"Blogs, RSS and how it all works and how you can monetize from it - hosted by XXXXX"
"Videography, what equipment is best and pointers for using it - hosted by Jonni Darkko of Evil Angel"
"How to get those big affiliates working for your program - Hosted by XXXX"
if you see what I am doing above, it is combining internet and video to bring a incredible lineup that can benefit everyone and teach them new and expanding ideas...
I saw an article earlier today about how porn is so ahead of the game when it comes to ideas for internet business...why do our seminars at conventions not reflect that? and why is a company as big as avn not pushing the boundaries and exposing us to all the new ideas that come out
the show floor should ALWAYS be free...advertisers are paying for that and to charge someone to walk to the show floor after the advertisers already paid for that show floor is a kick in the face to the advertisers and a big "fuck you" to the people that have to pay to walk it
