I am hearing lots of good stuff about it....its going to be around a big bar and lots of networking....at Mandalay Bay this time and AFTER the video show....should be good....

[Manowar]

sounds like it will be a blast

[Jace]

word has it via some reliable sources that a few very large companies that always have booths have pulled out of buying booths at AVN Expo and Internext, the money spent just isn't worth it anymore

[C H R I S]

Actually the show floor is sold out - nobody has "pulled" booths from Internext. This show is going to be huge - with Lensman as the Keynote Speaker, completely updated seminar, workshop and classroom tracks, Porn Poker Tour, and a few more surprises to come - I think everyone will be very satisfied with Internext Version 2.0.

New Dates - No conflict with CES or AEE
Low Cost Hotels Rooms
Updated Educational Series
Special Keynote
Complimentary Brunch Everyday


Whatever the doubters may say, both Internext shows are the best attended shows all year.

Chris is doing his job BUT he's speaking the truth. There's no puffery or bullshit. He's just stating facts ... so the comparison is a little off there Jace

Anyway, based on the "new program" AVN is trying to pull of, I think they can turn January back into a great show

I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah and forget about the people who have been fucked over in the past losing tens of thousands . Time to get a fresh new crew to fuck over.

amen brotha, preach on

just because booth space is sold out doesn't mean they haven't lost old timers that have bought booths for years and years

in this biz, there is always fresh blood for avn to grab money from, that is for sure

and jesus, I just checked out the website....how many shows do you think they can use the SAME freakin topics for workshops/seminars?

LOL...like a broken fucking record

how about something we haven't heard?

here are some ideas:
Marketing Your Affiliate Site
How to Recruit Super Affiliates
Mobile Phone Affiliate Marketing
Bloggers - The New Super Affiliates
Optimizing Landing Pages

these ideas were taken from another show, i am sure avn is creative enough to get their own ideas though

As many others are -

As some people dont take the time to actually read the whole description of the educational series on our site - and make incorrect conclusions. I want to set the record straight in case there is any confusion on the educational series, there are three tracks:

Seminars

Digital Licensing

Search Engine Secrets

Monetizing Domains

Classroom Sessions

Obscenity

Labeling and Record Keeping

Legal

Intensive Workshops

Newbie

Content

Metric and Analytical Marketing


Oh and don't forget about the Keynote address by Lensman.

What reliable source is that? There are only 3 10 x 10 booths available at AVN show and mostly all sold out at Internext?

[d00t]

Yeah, with 50% less booths than last year.

[Cyndalie]

We at AdultChamber.com have found booths a good way to generate new business at shows...people know when and where to come find you and it does create a presence. We have always exhibited at Internext and have no plans to change that anytime soon.

[marketsmart]

im not sure, thinking about it...

[FreeHugeMovies]

They got greedy and charged too much for booths. Scheduling bad times and allowing the hotels to rob us blind, why WOULD you get a booth? They should of given everyone a refund last year after it’s debacle

You Know ?? A show is what YOU as an attendee make it. NOTHING more NOTHING less.......... Having Booths is Just another way for companies to get in touch with their customer base. SIZE as you must have gathered by now, DOES NOT Matter. Shows are evolving Give this One A chance...........

YES, I will be there

And thats the show we are going to in 2007 $1000 bucks and it will worth every dime

[jesse_adultdatingdollars]

As long as the parties are fun, than the show will be fine. That’s where all the business takes place anyway.

Also just a thought there should be a $150 pass version if you don’t want to attend the seminars.

Now this is where everything gets very interesting

This is think is the way to go if you just want to do business and not be bothered with having a huge expense and get right down to business and skip all the show boating.

This is also affecting the girls. I know about 12-15 that had their bookings to sign also cancel. It is very expensive for the companies to exhibit @ AVN/AEE. I have a small 10x10 booth for my firm and the costs will easily exceed $10,000 and my performers are going to sign for free. Im surprised that more companies arent passing on booths and grabbing hospitality suites. That seems like a mucher smarter idea.

I wouldn't think that there will be any more companies cancelling their booths that haven't already done so, as there are now steep cancellation fees involved. Yea - union labor at conventions is VERY expensive. Plus, you have to rent the carpet or bring in the carpet yourself, which is a logistic nightmare, so you just end up renting it. Labor is per/hour no matter what they do, minimum of one hour at $70 - $90/hour. For our booth, it's about a 6 hour setup with 3 - 4 workers. Same for taking down. Porter fee for MOVING the booth. All those cool plasma TVs you see at booths? $500 - $700/week. Internet connection at your actual booth? $1200 for the week. (People at the EA booth will be using their Blackberry's and PDAs.) But if you're a website based company, you need an internet connection just to show your product
We've known for years that we don't get our 'money worth for business done' at the convention. It's not ONLY about that. It's about the fans as much as it is company image and media coverage.

That money is better spent elsewhere...plain and simple. I will miss seeing some of my friends that I only see once a year but but for what it costs I could fly em to mexico Beach and take em fishing for a week and still save money.
