Hmmm, being that I'm an NL fan, the only thing I think of when I think of Seattle is that they're the SOB's who took A-Rod right before us and we got stuck with Darren Dreifort! LOL

I've always wanted to do a trip to ST... I should have done that back in the late 90's when this business required less work! Haha... doubt I'll find the time anytime soon, at least not for more than a day or two. But since the Dodgers are moving to Arizona next year, maybe I can claim I have business with CCBill and justify a trip that way....

You could have had A-Rod for all I care. I hate the guy. He's a total a-hole when it comes to personality. Spring training for him is likely a joke. To me ST is about the kids. A-Rod was/is too much of a snob to make it kewl for the kids. There are plenty of other players who really have a blast with the fans during ST.

Gottcha :thumbsup

BTW, Tha't will be my 1st time at PHF this year.. Can't wait.. See ya there ? :)

Qwebec expo... Great show to get things done. Always do great there.
Summer Internext.... real busy, great show
Headed to Cybernet for the first time but hear great things about it.

Phoenix Forum
Webmaster Access West Los Angeles
Xbiz Hollywood Los Angeles

Internext Florida

:thumbsup

same here

I think for business I would go with:

Phoenix Forum
XBiz Summer show
Internext (but I'm not sure Vegas or Miami...I'd say Miami, but this year's Vegas I missed and apparently rocked).

Phoenix Forum
XBIZ Summer Show
Internext Vegas

Okay, that was weird . . . I opt for Vegas because no way in hell would I go to FL in the summer.

I have only been tp one. And that was the redneck getaway :) Had a fucking blast and met some great people..

I attended 11 shows my first two years in the business and this year I have narrowed it down to the 3 that I think I will get the most from.

XBIZ Show & Awards - Hollywood, CA
Something about this show just has ADULT written all over it. Maybe because of the location in the Porn Capital of the World or because of the awards... but it just seems that there are more company owners and decision makers concentrated at this show than any other besides Phoenix.

Phoenix Forum - Not much left to be said. This is as close to perfect as any show can get.

Internext - Hollywood, FL - This show seems to attract a huge European following as opposed to the west coast shows... I guess in part due to the location but more so I think because the Diplomat is one of the nicest hotels amenity wise and the whole hotel is ours for the duration of the show.

If I had to add a fourth I would go to WMA Amsterdam in September to round out my travel/show schedule for the year.

i liked the xbiz summer show the best and i hear the internext in florida is a good one

For business contacts Phoenix Forum, Cybernet Expo, Internext Miami and X Biz Vegas are my favorites.
