Day Three: The Gold Rush Gambit
Day Three of AVN shifted from expo floor chaos into the kind of deep strategic conversations that actually generate revenue six months after everyone's forgotten the booth numbers and thrown away the promotional koozies. I'm Dugmor, and while my name floated through convention floor chatter like background radiation, someone asking for contact info, the usual networking noise, the real action happened when the serious players pulled away from the circus to discuss actual business development strategies that require more than a handshake and a business card.
The energy transformed from the frenetic booth-hopping madness into focused planning sessions where people with actual budgets and infrastructure discussed market expansion, social media strategies that function as customer acquisition tools, and the brutal economics of platform dependencies that could evaporate with one algorithm update or terms-of-service change.
