well said. I was amazed at this event, it blew Vegas out of the water!

So wish I was there :(

Very well said KB. It was great seeing you again. Let's have a drink in San Diego!

Totally Agree...

Awesome show with good times had by all ;)

A little long winded, KB - but certainly true!

:winkwink:

I've been so wrapped up in emails and phone calls today following up - it's insane!

Thanks to CCBill and all the sponsors!

Official thanks will be posted tomorrow!

:)

Steve Lightspeed is MIA still at this point so I'll pipe in real quick. It was very well put together. Seeing what effort was put in on our end was a lot of work, so I can only imagine the amount of planning that CCBill did. (I didn't do any planning for Lightspeed - I was just told to bring jager which was reflected on my hotel room bill!).

Here's Steve in action!

Hey KB,

Great talking to you on the bus...I hadn't known you didn't know me as Varius though heh.....you need to get me over that 'footage' :pimp

As for CCBill and the show, I agree we DEFINATELY got our sponsorship's money's worth. Everyone that talked to us knew who we were and I'm sure the attention being a Premium sponsor gave us was a big reason.

I'll make my own post soon enough thanking everyone and sharing my PHX stories, but right now I have work to catch up on :thumbsup

Keith is was a pleasure- and I'd love to talk to you more about how we can make a lot of money off the insecurities of dating surfers/members

I want to go to Costa Rica someday - give me a good excuse to come and see you

:1orglaugh ... Now that's a great way to start a new page!

I agree... It really was an outstanding show!!

Great to see you KB. :thumbsup

I guess CCBill could start qualifying attendees by the size of their processing or their Alexa rankings, and making it one person per website unless they were an event sponsoring company.

If I were in charge of AVN and I were out to make a profit, I'd charge more than 250.

The last non-adult show I went to in LA was a DRM conference. It was 1400 bucks for 3 days or 500 for each day. This included a crappy lunch but no dinners, no parties, no free drinks.

Anyone that can't afford to pay 250 bucks to come to the AVN show, shouldn't be there. This will save some companies thousands in NOT doing a booth but simply paying the price of admission for their reps.

There are still plenty of sponsorship opportunities out there, and I'm sure someone has already been smart enough to sponsor the toilet paper... of course that would have been the first thing I'd have gone after.

Me too... Really and truly. I WISH I could divulge a few numbers at times.. but I cannot. So, really.. ME TOO!

Tofu and I talked about this a number of times over the weekend but this was the event that brought back my 'luster' for this industry. It was worth the flight from London and frankly as much as I enjoyed Vegas in the past if I had to pick one it would be this Pheonix Forum any time.

I liked the venue, I liked the area and I liked that it had a levelling feel where the 'big' guys weren't to far removed from the people at other levels so eventually they would meet. Also, not to sound bad about this board, but there was for sure a bit less of a 'GFY feel' to the event than say, Vegas.

As far as being burnt goes? Try being an already pale person that is used to UK weather. I am seriously pink and that is is WITH spf 40 sunblock.

As I said to Tofu the one day 'sometimes it sucks being white'.
