What Makes a Good Webmaster Party for YOU !!

im trying to organise something during vegas but want to get feedback from you guys as to what YOU think makes a bad ass party for webmasters

People ?
Free booze ?

feel free to add in what you want for suggestions

FUCK J0EL · 08-17-2005, 07:39 AM

When someone says VIP...it has to actually mean something !!!!

manne · 08-17-2005, 07:40 AM

Girls Girls Girls

Rinaldo · 08-17-2005, 08:04 AM

free lapdances, this year there wasn't a free lapdance suite.

EroticySteve · 08-17-2005, 08:06 AM

A good webmaster party should be somewhat exclusive that you keep non-stakeholders out of the socialization, but not so exclusive that people who deserve and want to be there are excluded. Free booze and food are key.

chase · 08-17-2005, 08:11 AM

Hot girls (yes I am a girl, but even I like nice scenery, haha!)
Open bar
Snacks to soak up the alcohol, haha
Good music, but not so loud we can't talk
Enough room for easy circulation
Keep out the non-industry folks, haha, except for chicks
I actually prefer there to be no VIP-only because it keeps you from being able to hang out with and network with anyone else who is or isn't VIP, depending on what pass you have, lol.
Great service.

Ben.Z · 08-17-2005, 08:20 AM

My opinion.

*On site location
*Invite only, with passes handed to the attendees to bring a few guests.
*open bar
*food / snacks
*ROOM... Lot's of it! ( no one likes being scrunched at these things, and some of us would like to make deals... so room to move around and get away from the croud is necessary IMO )

JD · 08-17-2005, 08:21 AM

lots of hotties. and free drinks

Yeah, I know it isn't realistic...but I think the segregation keeps a lot of biz from being done.

sfera · 08-17-2005, 09:13 AM

lots of girls and them maybe some more girls

sausage parties suck

Frank The Tank · 08-17-2005, 10:01 AM

okay so far ive gotten

Girls
Food
Music

vip - if its a suite party that might not be easy to do but i guess well think more about location based on this now

Drunk Irish guys .. well i can bring me and booze ? will that do jay ;)

Frank The Tank · 08-17-2005, 10:04 AM

If it was in a strip club would that satisfy the music and girls part of it ?

Bama · 08-17-2005, 10:12 AM

The very FIRST question you should ask is one of yourself...

What is the purpose of the party?

Appreciation shown to current business dealings you have with people and showing them a good time with no new business discussed or trying to increase or create new business?

Once you've decided that - you can get together a great game plan for the type party you should be putting together.

Frank The Tank · 08-17-2005, 10:22 AM

i doubt anyone ever throws a party with no new business in mind ?
New business is always a possibility with any contact

Joesho · 08-17-2005, 10:35 AM

I prefer sexy irishmen at all my webmaster events

Frank The Tank · 08-17-2005, 01:23 PM

why am i getting worried now joe !

Very true - but what was posted above about knowing the purpose - do you want to slant the party towards thanking the people that already support you in an attempt (a good cause) to increase their support of you (which in my mind is the VIP section or a suite party limited to them) or a general party to build new business contacts - or a mixture of both. If a mixture then I would definitely have a VIP (truly separate) section and the general area with both staffed by your people to make the contacts and keep the VIPs busy with yourself primarily

Strip clubs in vegas are NOT agood place to throw a webmaster party just FYI but thhey ave a lot of clubs there too do something in, you would be better hiring a DJ for the music, and paying some hot cicks to come and hang out vrs trying to pay the money it would cost for strippers I will be moved in down there in Oct. and will see whhat i can do to help you out on this front .

see i actually beg to differ. the majority of site owners are male - i prefer the sasauge fest parties till about 10 or 11pm cause i can network and get some work done - then i wana go somewhere with girls and a few close people that i like from the industry....

if i goto a party with all women early i'm in party mode all night and don't get much real networking done. one exception would be amateur site parties - they have lots of hot women but you can network with them too

Frank The Tank · 08-18-2005, 09:58 AM

so a lot of hot chicks but if theyre industry chicks its a bonus - got it sleazy ! !

And to make it a LIST party only - as in ur not on the list u dont get in - simple

Bama · 08-18-2005, 10:22 AM

Do your homework - know who you want at your party and why you want them there and send out 75% of your invitatations prior to the show 25% to people you meet at the show. I've already decide which parties I'll attend and which I'll skip before I even leave for the show.

Have your party in stages
Stage 1 - VIP's only - (7-8:30) feed them dinner, champagne, quiet music and make em' happy.
Stage 2 - (9-10:30) Clear out the dinner table and bring in the people you'd like to get new business from. Have ample seating and again, quiet music so people can actually discuss business and network. If you're going to hire girls to be there, make sure they're an attraction rather than a distraction. Provide snacks and drinks

Personally, I wouldn't try to keep an all-nite party going so there wouldn't be a stage 3 but if that's what you want - have an open door at 11:00 for all comers... you can crank up the music then and go off the hook if you like.

Don't throw a party on the first nite of the show. People want to get a little taste of everything from everybody and are going to party hop. Folks you'll want to talk to will be in and out before you can get the chance to chat to them all.

Frank The Tank · 08-18-2005, 04:59 PM

good advice thanks

Invite the GTS crew. There are enough Irish guys on staff to influence the rest

Seriously though, there were some great points. Namely music (volume and type) suiting the stage of the party, enough friendly girls to offset the typical sausage fest, and the right mix of people.

Try and do something different then the typical show party and have a goal. If you're goal is to make your customers happy, ask them what it will do to make that happen. If your goal is to become well known or market a new product then figure out how to brand your party and get the right people there.

Just some ideas though.

tristan_D · 08-18-2005, 05:48 PM

cool place, nice food, and lovely girls.

Breakyourself · 08-18-2005, 05:57 PM

free drugs

chase · 08-18-2005, 06:17 PM

And, have some very personable, fun people associated with your company to mingle with your guests and make an impression when you are busy with other people. Look for people who have an established reputation (not necessarily with another company, but just as "good people"); who are fun to be around, but still are perceived as professional. People who won't drink to much and get sloppy, but aren't cold fish who can't mingle and give off a holier-than-thou aura.

Roger V asked in another thread which companies were most successful marketing or branding at the show, and I am a firm believer that it's the people you send out among the attendees to mingle and chat people up who make the biggest impression...far more than any impact of signs or freebies, IMO.

I have signed up with a good dozen new sponsors since the show simply because I got to chat with the people behind the scenes, and I liked what I saw and heard, so they are foremost in my mind, more than the ones who had people who didn't bother with me.

So you're saying that someone should hire me to chat people up...hmm intresting.

Babagirls · 08-18-2005, 07:27 PM
