Hi Billy,
I have looked at over 40 (forty) five star hotels in Prague, and unfortunately the Praha is the only one where the show floor works for our group. Others were either even smaller (even less people fit into the venue hotel) or a lot larger like the InterConti or the Hilton (so we won't be able to rent them exclusively for our group - which would be a major downgrade for the event as a whole).
Unfortunately how I currently see it is, that a decision against the Praha means, that we will have to move to another city, and currently, by the amazing number of registrations (over 250 already) and sponsors (over 20 already) we already got for our Prague Super Show, it feels to me, that a large part of our clients are not ready to leave Prague and move on (yet).
In any case, trust me, we keep our ears and eyes open, and if we see a workable alternative, we will make sure to give it a shot.
As you know, we have changed hotel for our Barcelona show two times already, always in the search of a way to promote our sponsors even better, and to provide our visitors with a better show experience. And we just did it again: The next European Summit in Barcelona will not take place in the Miramar Hotel again, as sponsors did not like the venue distribution - so we move on and the next European Summit will take place from March 1st until March 4th, 2013 in the Hotel Calipolis (
www.hotelcalipolis.com) right at the beach with an improved show floor.
Thanks again for your feedback though. Only if people tell us straigh what they do not like about our shows, and advise us how we can perform better in the future, we will eventually manage to get it right.
Kindest regards,
Andreas
