Giorgio_Xo · 07-22-2004, 06:48 AM

I decided not to go because I have spent too much money on travel this year - way too much.

I'm working on it.
I live in FL (and it DOES suck, lol) so it's just a matter of a hotel (hell, econolodge is only $60/night) and my pass(es), but after paying my hotel I can't afford passes! Maybe I should just sleep in the car, lol.

The weather was awesome last year and weather aside, it's one of the best shows to attend IMO.

Nasty D · 07-22-2004, 08:38 AM

Florida is fun, but this year I would rather hit YP MEXICO

Joesho · 07-22-2004, 08:39 AM

Man that is Lame, to miss the best show of last year by far, and a great business opportunity,

I realize more and more here everyday, all a person has to do is read between the lines....

This is a great show in my eyes.

justsexxx · 07-22-2004, 08:46 AM

I will have holliday with my gf and some friends. Will attend to the Vegas show tho

Andre

Jace · 07-22-2004, 08:49 AM

just don't feel like going, way too much shit going on here

BlingDaddy · 07-22-2004, 08:49 AM

Becasue I'll be at a wedding in LA.

jact · 07-22-2004, 08:56 AM

It was between taking my family on vacation or going to some stupid trade show with drunk and stoned idiots doing moronic things and acting like lower life forms...

I opted to do the family vacation thing

yanik · 07-22-2004, 08:57 AM

not big enough, will wait for cybernetexpo to come back in montreal

Lots of reasons.

Too much shit to do.
Got a friend who needs some help during that time.
Too many trolls at those shows.
AVN pissed me off.

I could go on and on with reasons but those 4 popped into my mind right away.

I have not missed a US show in 18+ months.

Actually......I think the Phoenix Forum in 2002 was the last US show that I missed.

Odie · 07-22-2004, 08:59 AM

I can't get in to the US so...I'll just wait for Quebec..olus I've done way too much travelling this year already..gotta tone it down..

[illnet]-Tony · 07-22-2004, 09:02 AM

Internext in Florida is awesome !

A great show to attend , and HUGE for business.
one of my favourite shows overall.

Can't see how anyone serious about making $$$ and growing
a company would skip a show of that Magnitude because they
"don't like the weather "
doesn't make sense.

I know people that would go to a Pool party in Alaska if
the Business was there. lol

Not having enough cash to attend is another thing.
For someone starting out.... a show of that size is worth
maybe trying to find the cash to attend. Make the moves
and take the risk to try and grow what you put soo much
time and effort into on a daily basis.

It's worth it !

Yes, it is a great show...In fact, it's one of my favorite shows to attend.

I have no business related reason to attend it this year though and after the shitty experiences of the San Diego show....NOT THE FAULT OF CyberNet or the ynot crew.....I have decided to focus on reaching my goals this year instead of pissing away more resources.

I've been working 18 to 20 hours a day for the last 4 days and I don't see that changing any time prior to August 11th....which is when I will be helping my friend...Who is a decent size player in the affiliate program game and also not attending the FL show.

I'm still considering attending the Island Gathering this year though. That's one show that most of the idiots can not afford to attend anyway.

Broda · 07-22-2004, 09:08 AM

I'm not going because

1. Business talk is much easier on icq or email.
2. I don't think people would do more business with me just because we meet at a convention. Most never get back to you anyway, no matter where you meet them.
3. It's expensive and will put my business on halt for a week.
4. I probably won't get invited to the private parties, so might as well just stay at home

5. It's too hot in Florida this time of year.

I disagree. With a show that size....Most people are too busy running from place to place...Private party to private party...And the average show newbie is way too intimitated to get in the middle of a bunch of people and a situation like that. They will end up sitting around all day.

A smaller show still brings out some key players and they are more apt to take the time to get to know and help you.

If you are a newbie...I would not even think of attending this show UNLESS you already have an in with somebody who can hold your hand a hook you up.

stevecore · 07-22-2004, 09:13 AM

1) I'm backed up with work until past Internext.
2) Can't reason the cost of going will increase my profits by 10%.
3) ICQ puts me in contact with everyone I need to talk to
4) Leaving for Jamaica the week after the show ends, only need one vacation a year.

You could not be more wrong about this biz. Yes, there is an exception to every rule but overall...Networking at the shows is what can get you ahead the fastest.

True to a certain point. I know.

But I have also met a lot of people at the conventions I did attend and most really never get back to you. Granted, setting up meetings beforehand would help that, as you'd know already that you have common interests.

Still, by and large, many people do a lot of talking but when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is, they become awefully silent all of a sudden.

Besides, I have plenty of business at the moment, so don't have time to waste on anything that's potentially fruitless.

I will attend convertions again at some point, ofcourse. I love them and they're a great tax deductable get-away

Very True,
a lot of people prefer to meet you face to face before doing business with you and then the traffic just comes faster, even during the show

We're talking InterNext here. 1% of the attendees are business people. The rest are GFY webmasters who think they are part of this biz. If I offended anyone with this bold statement, get a real job ;)

Not worth it. Too big, too many people. If I were ever to attend anything for the mere purpose of getting some business done, it'd be some of the smaller conventions with a higher price tag, where you don't need to sort through the riff-raff to get to the player.

Just my

ofcourse. Opinions differ

Listen to this man...You'll be sitting there looking like a fool at the bar if you don't know anybody. Plus if you're a noob, you wouldn't be able to afford drinks at that bar because they were HELLA HIGH! It would be VERY intimidating for a first show newbie..It's nothing like Las Vegas and it's more of an "in crowd" thing...and if you ain't on the "in" you ain't gonna have any fun.

I'm glad I cut my teeth in vegas first.

edit....Plus you can't get a decent breakfast for under $21...The breakfast buffet is the ONLY way to go in the morning.

and another thing. Don't even think about catching a cab somewhere and getting something to eat unless it's fast food and the cab is waiting for you when you come out..Me and keev made that mistake and went to denny's. It took us over an hour in that hot ass sun to finally get a fucking cab back to the hotel.

Tony- You are absolutely right! Hell, I attended a show before I even opened my first site. Why? To Learn!

Beg borrow or steal, but make your way there- it's the best education in this business, if you open your eyes and ears.
