Sleazy I agree with you. I don't mind the prices as much as i mind the timing of the show. 2 weeks after xmas. Days after New Years. Vegas is packed. Everything is booked. And the show itself was absolutely useless.

I was speaking with my head programmer today who's also been in the game for 8 years (worked with the Isupply guys) and we both seem to agree the avn shows haven't evolved with the times. They have always been geared towards the launch of new companies and products. Our industry seems to be in a state where we know 90% of the products out there. We don't need to see their booth. What we need to do is sit down with our peers and talk business. I have rarely picked up any business on the show floor. However private dinners and gatherings are definitely where it's at. The only reason avn's internext is still running is people flying there to meet at the same place. However i think we all saw it this year, the people aren't wasting their time walking the show floor thesedays. Was i the only one that felt the show floor was really empty this year?
