Yeah, I try to read them all. Several valid points made here, as opposed to elsewhere.
There are a lot of challenges associated in putting on a trade show in Vegas at a major hotel and casino, and a lot of people will just never understand them - there are certain things the an industry even bigger than ours will not bend on. They don't have to - they'll gladly say, "Fuck you, go to the Flamingo. Next."
Saying that, the majority of the show feedback we've received thus far has been extremely positive, especially from exhibitors. There need to be some tweaks made to the show to improve upon the stronger features of it. Overall, though, I think the educational series - seminars, classes, and workshops - were a success. Several of them were filled over capacity. The domain auction brought in nearly $2 million - it took the mainstream three tries to hit that number. The parties, especially the Ice Cube show and the Homegrown suite, well... I guess it's open to interpretation, but I had a hell of a time at. It's good to be working with D-Money again.

Saying all that, I'd love to hear anymore thoughts, suggestions, etc. from attendees. We're already talking about next year and I think we're going to be able to add another killer, un-equaled event to that show.
