37- Why do you attend industry shows? Have any favorites?
Some people goto shows to sell - i sell from home. I goto shows for relationships and relationship building.
if you have the relationships - you can get your work done a lot faster and more efficentially than someone without them.
the best show of the year is probally the phoenix forum. It's done for the right reasons and it's got a high concentration of people who know thier shit in this business. without all the idiots around.
After that - I'd have to say webmaster access. The GFY crew does these shows for the right reasons and works their assess off making sure everything goes perfect. I give them a lot of credit on them and they are the shows I make the most effort to attend. I try and get behind these shows as much as possible.
Internext is important and the largest show of the year - i tend to get lost in the crowd at them though. Depending on your business model internext may be essential to you.
I've had a lot of fun at cybernet expos in the past and done GREAT business at them.
Some of the smaller shows have been the most productive to me. qwebecexpo is always a BLAST as are some smaller gatherings.
I look for shows now where I can spend more time on a personal level with people. I get the most out of that kind of situation.
