LOL, I'd say this thread just proves the old adage about never pleasing all of the people any of the time.

Of course I'm friends with Aly and a few other folks at AVN like Chad, Kimberly, Tom and Farley. And one of the things I've discovered since Aly's started working at AVN and I've actually talked to Chad about my own complaints, is that no one, other than AVN employees and management, actually have any clue how the AVN shows work.

I asked Aly to swipe me a day badge for the video show at the Venetian. Initially she didn't see that it would be a problem, only that she would have to justify it to the higher ups, as they aren't allowed to simply hand out badges to their friends, so to speak. But then we both found out that the companies AVN works with to produce the shows are NOT the same for video and internet. Since she's an internet side, she's got zero pull for the video show. OK, no biggie, I know a ton of people exhibiting at the video show with extra badges so it was a moot point.

Things we tend to take for granted aren't always what they seem. The little old ladies who do the badge issuing for our show definitely don't make the top of my list for efficiency, at one point I actually wanted to tell them to shut up and check IDs instead of catching up on soap operas while they were supposed to be working. But it's Vegas, they're union, and that's just the way it was this year. I don't like it, but then again I'm hard to please anyway lol ;)

Aly, you might consider giving us all an education on some of the more obscure points regarding AVN and their operations, especially in areas where there seem to be the most complaints. Not neccessarily defending them, since there are a few things that are probably indefensible ;) But educating us on what can be changed, and then taking suggestions into account regarding these things that can be changed, would probably be more time efficient than everyone just rambling along and not feeling like anything's being resolved.

I've been involved with shows in mainstream....it's a huge project, especially when you consider the numbers attending this one.

The registration lines were very long, especially for the exhibitors. On the flip side, I saw quite a few opportunities taken to network, in spite of the wait. There's nothing better for business than being stuck in some line. While it may not have been very efficient, I did plenty of networking and even got some business from standing in that line. I also got to see people I might have missed. We were mostly laughing while complaining.

KK...while Vancouver may have seemed like it was a cluster fuck, the disorganisation actually worked in our favour. When you get a bunch of webmasters waiting to go somewhere, we all start talking. It's a wet dream for many of us, since we're such a captive audience. I would have preferred staying at the Pacific Palisades and maybe things could have gone a little smoother; but, so what? The bottom line is that webmasters live and love to complain. When you're on this side of the event, it's easy to complain, I think. Besides, it gives us something to talk about.

Yeah... The lines were ridiculous. But big, huge kudos to you for making the best of the situation as always! You're so damn good..! LOL.. Love proactive people. :wnw: [/b][/quote]
Since you're the Chosen One, Aly, I try to emulate....:)

Seriously, other than the snail mail announcements to my postal workers...I'm not going to express an opinion....on a subject I know little about. I've been involved with events; but, not any as huge as Internext...the little details can be dizzying.

Although ----

It seems to me that all of the shows should revolve around MY schedule and accomodate MY particular needs, don't you think? :)

Aly asked what folks from Oprano wanted to see changed with the Internext show starting in Florida. So Ive opened this new thread so the discussion can flow and AVN and Aly can have one place to refer to.

My first question is pretty simple.

Why does it cost $200 for a pass to look at exhibits on the show floor?
I do think that there has to be a charge but when you historically look at other shows [yes Mainstream ones] the charge is minimal and the exhibitors are given a slew of passes to give away for free.

You get more bang for your buck by giving the exhibitors more... AVN benefits from the increased show floor traffic, the hotel draws more vistors...etc etc.


Theres an easy one for you Aly.

Thanks for starting this thread!

In the ideal tradeshow scenario, exhibitors cover the costs of the show, and anything over that, including Attendee badge sales is profit. In the case of Internext in Vegas however, that isn't the case. Exhibitor costs are kept at a lower rate (and Attendees higher) in order to make exhibiting at the show a possibility for more businesses. Exhibitors do receive additonal badges depending on the size of their booth (5 free badges, plus 5 for a discounted rate, per 10x10 booth space booked). The theory with Vegas Internext is- the more exhibitors, the more likely people are to find the convention worth coming to. The Summer Conference is now to be approached differently and be less about booths and more about everything in-between.

If you disagree with that logic, LMK! [/b][/quote]
Hmmmmm.
