I still managed to do a great deal of business in Vegas.

My view is that what we are seeing is the show is having to find value both to AVN as well as the online community.

The traffic seminar was hands down the BEST seminar I have ever attended.
If you were lucky enough to be in the crowd I heard Scott Coffman tell everyone in the room how to generate traffic in 2007.

The floor layout was pretty nice as well. Im still confused why they took away the drinks included with the brunch leaving only $4 beverages availible.

The auction was a big hit as well both the silent and public one. MJ if your reading that is a keeper as well.

Still a large amount of people playing poker which Ive been told has a great way of rapid networking. Looked to be where the action was the entire show.

I dont think you can hang the blame totally on AVN if you are an exhibitor.
A lot of companies finally went to an open format of ooths instead of hiding behind a chair.

But really guys.... booth bunnys handing out a slck post card which is your banner ad on the boards isnt going to be very effective.

I saw Forest packed in the back of the hall out there working the crowd. Sexmoney was lining up folks to tell them how to make money with hteir program and what sets them aside.

Woody you need to keep Forest around. He gets the hustle and from what I understand his show was very fruitful for him in terms of business.

Really AVN responded to a lot of complaints this time. The show was moved away from CES, away from the Sands, the seminars had value.

Its going to be both a challenge and interesting to see how next years Vegas show goes.

AEE on the other hand was an astounding success.
