Or will Klixxx go head to head?
Or will they both team up together and kill the tradeshow as now know it?
I am hearing and seeing things that lead me to believe AVN's complacency is about to change.
I am excited to see if a new hotel will change the ambiance for the webmaster this year. I'll also be comparing prices from last year at the Venetian, as well as looking at the amount of booths on the show floor.
With the attrition rate being what it is these days, and traffic not as profitable as it once was...I'd think it would be foolish for anyone to think that companies will still consistently float $25- $100,000 in expenses for a tradeshow in Vegas.
I know I hear a lot of people complain that they hate dealing with union labor, tradeshow booths, and getting gauged by the hotel for unnecessary charges.
Maybe next year, if what I hear is right, webmasters won't have to come out of pocket for anything....
Just airfare....NOW THAT would be something wouldn't it?

kBizzle..well said!
That is funny I thought that very thing myself about Klixxx or Xbiz.
We did not get a booth this year not because we cant afford it, it just did not make any sense and it just feels like a "shake down". We are spending more money on other things around the show rather than the over priced booth with the 500 dollar extra internet charge for connection or 300 dollar power charge etc..
