are there TOO MANY webmaster conventions?
 

theres like one a fucking month now what the fuck is that all about?

can you say overkill

No but there are too many webmasters

Yes.

There's two... Vegas and Florida. January and August. The rest don't count cuz I'm not there! LOL.

I can only handle getting sick like I did in Vegas once per year!

Your best bet is to hit the majors and whichever smaller show is close to you.


Speaking of which, anyone hitting Vegas March 1st? I hear rumors of a big party to kickoff a new webmaster proggie ;-)

rumor has it for three hours at the V bar, there will be food and drinks with a couple big names already secretly agreeing to appear...

more to follow on this vicious rumor ;-)

and from what I understand it's not really a webmaster gathering so much as just some people chilling in Vegas to some tunes, alcohol and food...

anyone else know muh about this rumor? email me [email protected]

You mean eroswebmaster and ludedude are gong to be there?

shit I'm down!

Keep in mind that a lot of these webmasters live the Boo Radley lifestyle, and only leave the house for conventions. Once a month keeps them more or less active.

BL

once a month is awesome. I'm doing one a month.

I'm sure many can't make it to the conventions across country and just wait for the ones closer to home - so no, I don't think there are too many.
There's obviously a demand for it or they wouldn't host them...

shhhhh, don't let the secret out so soon ;-)

also, I still need your payto info so I can get this check out to you :)

or just come pick them damn thing up at the office, hehehe ;-)

nop.. I don't think so.. I didn't attended to any of those since now.. :(

How about I come down Thursday?...visit with you guys for a few minutes

I personally think the Vegas, Phoenix and Miami shows are the three most important. You meet up with the industry 3 times a year and get some good networking done.

If there is a small show in your area, cant hurt to attend, but I wouldnt go outta my way to attend the others.

I think the future will show that these webmaster access shows thrown by gfy ars etc will be pretty important.

I'm starting 3 new ones this year

I agree, these are the three most important. I've been to wayyyy too many shows in the past year, and I'd actually put Phoenix on the top of the list... above Internext.

You need to remember that a good chunk of us spend 12 hours a day, 7 days a week in front of a computer with little outside interaction. Unfortunately meaning few friends outside of the industry. The events are a great way to see your friends and do business at the same time. Once a month may be too much for some, while perfect for others.

I think the high amount of conventions keeps the networking flowing, the faces familiar, and it gives people a chance to see who is real and who is BS. :thumbsup

sounds good to me

Naawww, there are never too many of those!
