And then the private invite show/events not on the regular calendar.
Throw in the US shows that are every single month now it seems. In September there are 2 shows alone unless you tag on to Munich from AMS then consider it 3 in Sept.
I think I lost count at 25 plus shows a year. And after almost 7 years of doing shows... it's gotten out of hand.
While I have yet to post in any of these recent 'fire' threads, this one I have decided to because I believe anyone who has done their research on the last decade of shows, the ebb and flow of them, and profit/loss margins, of them, etc. may have reconsidered adding another one.
Throw in the value of the US dollar in our economy right now against the Euro, Pound or almost any other currency--and well, that alone speaks for itself.
That is the analysis research needed prior to a thread and any company with adult and economic business acumen I think would know that.
I believe you will find only a slight handful of U.S. people will go to yet another show and even less if you consider the veterans in this industry.
I go where the money flows, not where it is only spent.
no reply post necessary. I will not be back in this thread. Thanks.

Words of wisdom - also great comments from Mickey, Ben and other respected euro companies.
Invest in the shows that we already have, which there are too many too keep up with.
As someone who plans two of the largest North American shows I can tell you that there is alot more to putting on a show than picking a location and they will come. The costs involved in putting on a succsessful show are astronomical. If you throw in subsidies to get people there you are talking about a serious bloodbath.
There are several fine Euro Webmaster shows and gatherings - the chances of a new one attracting attendees from US are slim to none.
I have to say though Claire, you have spunk and determination.
