Drav....someone DID pay attention to your East Coast suggestion. This is not all as easy as it looks:-) Finding a hotel to work with is a major chore.
Forget Atlantic City - they have had so much trouble with the past Adult shows held there, that they send you to the Exibition Center (which is not what we do) Several places told me point blank that an Adult show IN the hotel is going to be very pricey. They don't want us....
I did place calls to some prospective hotels in Philly. Thier prices are just out of line and not affordable for the size show we have. For us - there is a lot of risk - Atrition could bankrupt us, if we don't fill their required rooms.
We really enjoyed New Orleans, and had a great show there in June 2000 - but there was a lot of problems with the timing of the AVN show also held in New Orleans that year - and many have a bad taste in their mouth about supporting another show there.
As far has having shows in areas during the ultimate weather conditions..... that is called peak season - it is unaffordable for the trade show company, many of the Adult companies & 70% of the webmasters. We have been fortunate to have pretty good weather conditions, but we use smaller properties.
It is not as easy as it looks. If it appears to be easy - then the company is doing a good job - because I am going on my 10th year - and I am yet to have an easy show. :P
