Almost a thousand bucks to go to a few parties and seminars that will probably have the same people we see at the other shows? WTF? I think they went in he wrong direction trying to do this show. They should have made it really cheap ($150 or so) and got more sponsors to pitch in to share the cost. There hasn't been a big NYC show in years (the NJ CybernetExpo in '98 barely counts) and lots of people would come to a cheap show. If they get enough rooms almost every hotel will comp you the meeting space for free. That would cut their expenses down big time and just leave the parties in need of sponsorship.
I think the problem is that a sponsor is putting it on and they are probably hoping to get some exposure and business from it. No offense to ScoresCash but I think they really took the wrong road with this show. When Fay put on the CyberNetExpo in Secaucus in '98 it was a little more neutral since she was not affiliated with a sponsor. Too bad the location for the '98 show sucked major ass (although the parties in Manhattan rocked!).
