    INTERNEXT- What Happened to the show?

    Is it my imagination or did you guys notice the following:

    *Several big players didn't exhibit...those that did scaled down
    *Fewer big parties
    *Smaller attendance (even the lookie loos were less this year)
    *Smaller Hall
    *less newbies

    All in all, I had a great time seeing everyone again and did some good business during the dinners and "O" bar but the show floor just ddin't seem to cut it this year.

    What was your take on the whole show? What do you think will happen for Florida?

      I personally have always liked the FL show.

      But I do see what you're saying. I was shocked my first walk around the floor. Except the newbie thing. There were tons of them there.

      btw, it was nice seeing you again hon

              True....In fact, it seems like events like yours is where we things may be heading. It definitely feels like you can accomplish more biz at events like the TGP VIP dinner then on the show floor.

                  The business is consolidating itself. "Less" companies - just the smart (or the dumb) left standing.

                  We will soon see that there will be a greater divide between the big companies and the ones trying to make it. New ones will always have a good chance, but they need to play their cards right and go with the right technologies and ideas.

                  Eyeballs is everything in this business! Then there is MPA2 and MAS - without either you are fucked...

                          Player Hater Ball was bigger this year than in the past. Atleast the bar tab was.

                                  The smaller get togethers were the ticket, for me anyway. I made a lot of deals in hospitality suites that couldn't have happened at bigger parties. IMHO

                                          This show sucked ass!

                                          I will never exhibit there again unless
                                          they move it.

                                          Venetian hotel sucks and their security
                                          is a major pain in the ass.

                                          I have had it with that location.

                                                  As in the guys who just walk by the booth and SCOOP up the free shit. Like... "who the hell are you?" kind of people.

                                                      Hi,

                                                      We actually had an excellent show and the attendees seemed to be more qualified than in the recent past. There was certainly less foot traffic and I agree the show should be moved to a new location and a bit later in the month.

                                                                      We actually had an excellent show and the attendees seemed to be more qualified than in the recent past. There was certainly less foot traffic and I agree the show should be moved to a new location and a bit later in the month.

                                                                      Mitch
                                                                      I have to agree with you Mitch dear. The show is way to close to the holidays. Later in the month would be soo much better..

                                                                      I actually think the sands has out grown the show. It's just too big of a place for us now. We're sized down some over the years.

                                                                                                                          I personaly made a ton of traffic sales and with a lot of new companies.

                                                                                                                          My feet are fucking killing me--so I know I worked.

                                                                                                                          I'm 41 so late nights and strip club parties are getting old to me.

                                                                                                                          Kudos to No Credit Cards cigar party. All the big boys were there.

                                                                                                                          My company adultplex along with sexychat, lovercash and the nicest guy in the biz Ron Tan (niteline media) threw a real happening party The Bootie Ball. There was 400 people there. I have been around 6 years and I am not the most social guy in the biz but I didn't know 1 person there. It seemed like it was all newbies. But if they sign up for our affiliate and send traffic it will be will worth it!!! I guess I will let you all know in a month or so!!

                                                                                                                              Thanks to pussycah for dinner at Delmonicos which is to me the best steak resturaunt in the world. Bone in Rib Eye steak is to die for and way better than sex.

                                                                                                                              BTW- I ain't a wine drinker but we had this $800 bottle and it was great.

                                                                                                                              Also to finish the night we capped her off with 1964 Padrone cigars.

                                                                                                                                  But, I'm sure alot of them were also the "pornophiles" or "Cheapskates" looking to populate their wardrobe with shirts and swag.

                                                                                                                                  Anyway, It was great seeing you again and thanks for the invite to your party...That was way cool.
