    XBIZ Summer draws record 1200+ attendees - forced to move from July for 2009.. [poll]

    Huge thanks to the sponsors of the XBIZ Summer '08 Forum for supporting our biggest show to date - we simply couldn't have done it without you.

    As much as we've ignored the issue of heat in the past, we can no longer continue to do so.

    Expect a new month for 2009.

      I don't get it, if it was such a success, why are you guys changing the dates?
      I'm just a newbie.

        I think the thread mentions the intense heat is the reason.

            Forget who I was talking to about this, but they said they still wanted it to be a month that was "pool weather."

            I am not sure what months are pool worthy in Vegas but still available. How does mid-October look?

                Part of what makes it a well-attented show is that it doesn't compete with anything else in July. It was unusually hot this year, but last year was perfect.

                  Congrats but before moving to a bigger place in 2009.I would see what the rest of 2008 holds for our industry. Just a thought.

                    There's a nice window after the Phx Forum and before Cybernet, how about something in May? Vegas is still mild.

                            the flights/room rates is low season thats the only benefit
                            otherwise the insane heat over-rides everything to make the show
                            a lil more difficult to attend . Maybe this is just a CND speaking though ... haha

                                What's the point in having a poll if you're mind is already made up? You said "expect" changes next year..
                                Sig too old.

                                      I think the most insane thing was those of us golfing on Tuesday in the 111 degree heat...

                                      um, but the fact that Vegas Ken, Joe from xxxcash and myself all shot um....90...made up for it...that's why we golfed as the last group...had nothing to do with me being late...everything due to us not wanting to show up any other golfers... ;-)

                                              the pros of July: it fits nicely between Cybernet and Internext without them being too close together.
                                              usually easier to get better room rates and flight packages that month.

                                              the cons of July: the heat

                                              I had a really good time despite the heat...the poolside view was great
                                              as a resident of Vegas, I'm used to constant construction, so that wasn't a huge issue for me.

                                              what are the chances of a September show? would still be pool weather, but much cooler than July

                                                i'm from phoenix and i still found it hotter there than at home...

                                                and no way was i stepping into the tepid public pool of human filth and urine called a swimming pool - so yeah it's real hot in the sun when you're not in the pool LOL

                                                  I had a really good time despite the heat...the poolside view was great
                                                  as a resident of Vegas, I'm used to constant construction, so that wasn't a huge issue for me.

                                                  what are the chances of a September show? would still be pool weather, but much cooler than July

                                                    As far as there are so many shows already it's kind of tough to find a different term I guess.

                                                          It was a great show Alec. I love the time of year, but I agree, the heat was a bitch.

                                                          Even my venue was in the 90's.

                                                          AND I would keep it in Vegas. February or March maybe?

                                                                        Well I'm from up north and I was expecting way worst but it wasn't that bad after all..

                                                                        As Steve said, maybe hotter than the usual, but still bearable, especially when it's dry heat and not humid like Florida

                                                                          Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                                                          think about that

                                                                                p.s. The Hard Rock's new poker lounge should kick some serious ass.

                                                                                                    You just need to demand to the mgr to chill the place to 40 degrees for 2 days before u open the doors..
