**New Euro Webmaster Show *** Prague***Urgent Feedback Required***

I totally agree KMR Stitch but every show you mentioned is usa based although webmasteraccess has the amsterdam show.

The market is growing in europe and I think they are looking at tempting usa webmasters to experience that region more and combining it with thier euro customers

I think they have considered the cost and dont expect the first show to be without headace also they are using trade event consultants and from what Im told some of those consultants have experience in adult trade shows in europe and usa already.

It was the date and location that they could not decide on

Unless this show offers something virtually amazing, I don't foresee getting a strong or much attention from the US market. As there are many shows in the USA, not to mention the Costa Rica show, and The island gathering it would be a very tough decision to make a trip over to Europe. To make a trip like that you're looking at a solid week of work missed, keep in mind flight times, costs, jet lag, 4 days for the show, 2 days for flying 1 day for packing/unpacking. It just does not make sense.

PLUS, a new show, where no one knows what to expect, how well it's organized I don't really see a lot of people saying "fuck I cannot miss this!"

And as many people have said prior to this, there are simply just too many shows.

I myself would think the ideal thing here if they wanted to break into and test the show market would be to do a small gathering for basically Euro webmasters and then build from it. If they target them, do a great show then word spreads and people will want to attend the next year. Phoenix started small, and so did other shows. To really make this a good show I would aim small keep it more local impress everyone and come the next year, it's on.

Still Im not getting the feedback as regards the date and location

Claire you make no sense. You ask for feedback, people give it, its not what you want to hear so you get defensive. Sounds like you don't need feedback and wanted instead a bunch of people to come in saying, "I'm so there" and wow "I can't wait". Damn. Why even ask if your big clients have their minds made up?
Stop wasting peoples time.

imho, there aren't enough shows in Europe so its a good idea.
The only attendable show is webmaster access the rest (2 ?) are crap in EU
so theres room for another one.
my 2c.

You're assuming they care much about US people. WA gets only a handful of them and I don't think they should be concerned with that.

It costs me about 5k in total to go to a usa show for 2 although thats not the subject.

You are jumping to a lot of conclusions ? They are thinking of taking the whole hotel and inc 2 meals a day the 3 days would be $500-$600 for hotel they are also thinking of making a subsidy so it could be less ,and flights will be handled too this is going to be under a 2k show based on what I have seen all in.

This is not some half ass idea they are looking at a big investment.
