How about you? What do you think? Will there be another show in FL?

Wow - I can't believe I didn't run into you the entire weekend!!
I agree that the show floor seemed empty, but I'd have to put part of that responsibility on the booths themselves. I understand that each booth is the same size... but they don't have to have the same volume level! That place seriously needed MUSIC to liven up the atmosphere.
Another thing, which was great for me as I prefer to network off the showfloor, was that we didn't have the normal Florida summer weather. Usually, the afternoon downpours get people to stay on the floor since they can't hang out by the pool or on the balconies.
Third thing I noticed... Two years ago, rather than large parties "off campus" things were more centralized to the hotel so you didn't need to waste time shuttling. I really miss the yacht parties!!!! Heck, one night we hit THREE!!! (since they remain docked). You're away from the hotel, meeting new groups of people, and you can walk across the street to get back whenever you want.... perfect!
I love summer Internext, I just think this was an off-year (I hope)
Cheers!
