AVN dropping prices? I doubt it. What makes a booth costly has nothing really to do with AVN.. what do they charge.. like 2500 per 10x10.. so in order to have the biggest space on the floor is only 10k... what IS expensive are the hotel charges for items such as internet and carpet rentals.
As well a booth itself physically can easily cost 200k... and the man/womanpower to run a booth effectively and throw a party also is definitely more than anything AVN related.
In the end (for example) we decided against having a booth because it simply wasnt "profitable" last time. Spend 20k to have a little booth and give away a lot of t-shirts.. then take that same 20k and spend it on webmaster advertising on boards and resources along with perhaps a party co-sponsorship and it makes money.
My point is only that avn is a very tiny cost in the grand scheme of booths imho.

Hooper,
I have heard a fair number of programs state the same thing - that the booths are not profitable for them. Bottom line.
Good to see you at the show. I'll call you in a few days re: what we discussed.
