Just a little advice for avn. CHANGE YOUR PASS SYSTEM. The lineup in vegas was way too long. It took more than 2 hours to pick up an exhibitor pass. Come on, that is totally unacceptable. Come up with a new pass system and stop using 90 year old ladies that don't have a clue how to operate a computer. They are slow and old to begin with and then you throw them into a terrible situation of having to deal with pissed off webmasters. Whoever was in charge of the handing out of passes in vegas should not only be fired they should be shot.  |
Won't happen. After years and years of doing this show, you would think someone has a clue by now regarding these lines. Bottomline to them is cutting corners to make as much profit as possible. There's a reason Internext is in Jan and overlapping CES as same time...which is just a nightmare all around. It's nuts. But this won't change because AVN is overly confident that they hold this market..so there's no reason to make changes. They know you'll follow whatever they decide...and they're right...everyone has.
What i don't understand is why someone like Lensman, Epoch, (hint hint) doesn't see the big opportunity for a new show in Vegas to replace internext...and simply take over the Vegas show. Put it a few weeks after CES and everyone registers to this show instead of internext. Do it right for a change. Easier said then done obviously, but certainly not impossible when you gather a few of a the bigger players and pull together all their marketing power and resources.
Overall, my experience was ok. Aside from Mandalay having terrible customer service and the unacceptable showroom lines, i enjoyed myself..so that was cool.
