First of all, we never had any intention of not doing Webmaster Access Amsterdam. This show has been a staple in the industry for over 5 years.

Second, many people are hitting me up asking why the two shows didn't communicate. The truth is that we did have communications including discussions about how we might work together. This is why the Barcelona announcement came as such a surprise to us. Even after the announcement, we tried to come to a working solution that would not only benefit both shows, but also create something special for the entire industry. Unfortunately, our efforts were not successful.

I know many people are expressing their concerns, and rightfully so. Having two shows at the exact same time benefits no one. We are very sensitive to this issue and have always prided ourselves on working closely with all show coordinators to make sure that we did the best we could to not step on each other?s toes. But this is where we are now, and at this point all we can do is make sure we are 100% focused on delivering a great experience to our attendees and sponsors.

We would love to hear your thoughts not only on this subject, but also on how we can continue to make the Webmaster Access Amsterdam Event the best it has ever been.

Thank you,

Shelly
