I'll be at Vegas for XBiz and also for Internext in Florida (first time back at that show since 1998) Haven't made any plans past that yet as I am buying a house in Vegas and don't know when I'll finally find one, close on it and move.

So far I've made money deals at every show! I guess it's what you are doing at the moment that counts. When I had owned by content company 10 years ago, it was important to go to the shows. When I sold it in 2002 and just had Ampland, I stopped going. Didn't need to.

But last year when I opened Claudia-Marie.Com I attended my first show in 5 years (last years XBiz) It was so profitable for me that I went to the Amsterdam show last year as well...made a lot of money at that one.

So yeah, if you have a paysite and/or a cash program then you should definitely attend.
Programmers & designers? Only to have fun and who knows maybe meet some people. You know the money and work always go to people that you have met and that you liked. That's pretty much the way it is in all businesses.

Traffic guys? Yeah you should go if you want to have fun and see your friends. But I can make just as much money with my tgp's cutting deals via email and icq so it's not 100% neccessary.

Content guys? Yeah, I would go just to talk to potential clients.
Billing companies? Absolutely.

Models. Hell yeah. I want to see some tits! LOL! And of course you will meet people who have work for you as well.
