Platinum Dave:: Majority of the larger programs are passing on this years Internext party battles. Usually its who has the best parties, this year looks like who is throwing a party.
What happened?
answers...
- Acacia
- Visa charge backs
- Marketing return not worth money spent
------------------------------------------------
All of these are excellent points - stable companies are feeling hit hard to the point of shutting down, content providers sales are dropping, webmasters are closing shop for the reasons mentioned above.
Still - there can be money made and to not be at the show means a missed opportunity if you are there for the purpose of doing business. I think that Internext will have to revisit their idea that everyone now is not really prepared to spend thousands on a trip and to be more fiscal in developing a show or they too will not be able to survive.
Although I have always enjoyed Platinum's parties
