Just looking for feedback of the show,

With todays marketplace and abundance of shows, I like to hear abotu what people that wenrt thought and how any business ( or partying, I like to get down from time to time too LOL) went . I have my schedual for this year laid out already, but I am starting to work on next years show schedual as i am not going to try to go to every one, I want to do ones that may offer something different than the " normal" same ole stuff.

I really wanted to go to this one this year, but I went to Amsterdam for some meetings instead. So i want to know if I should ad this one to my next year show plans.

it was one of the better shows I have been to.

The staff working was amazing and hilarious, the other people attending, aside from 2 of them, were great people that I look forward to working with. The business I got out of it was far worth the investment of the travel costs.

It was a great time, and everyone had a great time, not just a few of us

Ok, so what constitutes a "good show" these days?

Similar answers from both you and Joe, and basically same thing I was thinking.

Does size matter? Or rather, number of attendee's?

I prefer the smaller ones personally, 150-200 people max....after that it tends to get too confusing and I usually end up hanging with a set group of people all weekend

we used to do AVN/Internext back to back, and that was pure hell...there was always too much going on all at the same time, you never have time to really enjoy it because you are constantly hustling to get to the next thing

oh, and my wife just wanted me to tell you "no matter what any woman says, yes, size does matter"

I'll admit I've established more productive relationships at small shows than I ever have at Internext. Similar reasons I guess. Everyone is spread out, and with the show floors becoming irrelevant, it's harder to find people you WANT to talk to. And even if you do hook up with people you want to see, there are so many people competing for attention that you typically get a very short conversation at best unless you've already got a business relationship.

I'm also thinking venues and sponsorship are easier for small shows.
