But I disagree about the idea of "No strippers, no official partys, no "talent" - only bussiness" --- if you make the event into a sausagefest, no one will want to attend again.

We haven't done it again, because as much fun as it was, it wasn't worth the expense. Most of the webmasters we invited have either quit the biz, changed companies, lost their traffic, or moved their traffic to another sponsor eventually.

The only way this idea makes sense is to make an event for company owners only, and then it makes more sense to do 1 on 1 private meetings.

my 2 cents
