What is your opinion on Virtual trade shows? - GoFuckYourself.com

I just read an article about b-to-b web-based events like the virtual trade show is making ground as compliments, not replacements to traditional live shows. The virtual show floor emulates the real thing with booths, aisles, and representation of attendees. Within the show attendees can negotiate and place large purchase orders as well.
Given the fact that our industry throws the best parties at our live shows, do you think this virtual trade show has a future in adult?

And yes, I realize it would really benefit the dvd and novelty side of the industry, but its success could trigger a ripple effect in the online side... what are your thoughts?

We had a booth at the last eComXpo, and will participate in the next one as well.

Done right, you can collect a lot of new contacts.

Not sure that I would bother with adult since it is relatively small when compared to mainstream.
