I think I accomplished more at shows in the last two years than I did in the first 10.

there is definitely way to many shows though.
I didn't even know there were 5 or 6 shows back in 2000 (13 years ago).

I wouldn't say that the shows are better now than ever before...back in the late 1990's we used to actually MAKE money right on the show floor (selling content) that paid for the whole show for us and made a big profit before we even went back home. (not to mention all the business we had for the rest of the year from the people we met at the show...literally thousands of webmasters back then)

That doesn't happen today (I'm talking cash in hand).

But I can say that the last 2 Internext shows have made a big comeback. The thing was almost dead.

But AVN has really stepped up the last 2 years in a big way and put on what I think are the best shows possible in 2013. And the attendance has reflected that upswing.

Any of you who haven't been to Internext in the last few years might want to consider checking it out this year.
