Thanks for all the kind words and more importantly, I'm glad to see that there was a lot of business done and that people had a lot of fun. If something like Internext doesn't provide value for the people who support it and attend the event, then it really isn't worth the time to put together.
I think this show was successful for everyone involved, and while it wasn't perfect, we'll make some tweaks and come back with a better event next year, which I am already looking forward to.
On a side note, we neither control the hotel's pricing structures or security. The Westin is a major hotel chain that 1. considers themselves to be an upscale venue and prices accordingly (even for important pornographers), and 2. has an image to maintain (even at a convention of important pornographers).
Year after year, someone tries to imply that AVN is at fault for the hotels pricing and policies.
So let me throw out this disclaimer: AVN does not own Westin.
It's like someone dropping $400 at the craps table during the Vegas show and blaming us because we have a room block in Mandalay.
