Are Trade Shows a thing of the past?

Hehe, if it we're only so simple.

Jay down-played the whole situation, so most probably missed it. For those that weren't watching closely...

Early last Sept Helmy starts a drama thread on GFY, the gist of which is he's pissed about comments that Connor made about XBIZ Vegas moving their dates from July to a week prior to the already announced June dates for Cybernet Expo.

Supposedly this date change was necessary due to the heat in July in Vegas. But the poll that XBIZ itself ran only 28 out of 48 said to move it. Also, early June isn't all that much cooler than early July in Vegas.

I think this was all really just posturing on Helmy's part to move the XBIZ show ahead of Cybernet on the Calendar. Jay and Connor simply moved their dates to the end of June.

Looking at the numbers after the fact, Cybernet had better attendance than in 2008 while attendance at XBIZ Vegas was an embarrasment.

Karma is a biatch.
