We'd absolutely LOVE to have you two at Cybernet Expo. Fay doesn't own the show anymore, YNOT does, but I think you'll find that although we do have a lot of very fun parties in the evenings, the days are 100% business. It's a smaller show, like it always has been, but there will be a good sized crowd still ... and I'm VERY proud of the lineup of panels and classes this year.

Take a look at the site, and please feel free to hit be up if you want to talk about anything. connor at ynot dot com.

Since YNOT took over that show, we've been shouting from the highest rooftops about ROI and business. We've pretty much been alone in focusing first on business and education, parties second... not as glamorous a message, but somehow I have a feeling that others will be following our lead on 2010.

Parties are a great way to unwind in the evenings, and do a little extra networking... but I completely agree, there has to be ROI for attendees and sponsors first and foremost.

I think the parties last year were some of the best Ive ever attended at a show. Fuck I went to a DMoney party even and it was one of the highlights of the show.

Thanks man, and yeah they were pretty fun. But it was kept to the evenings, with business in the day. That's the tricky part in delivering this message... I don't mean to suggest in ANY way that the parties at Cybernet are second to anyone, but from the POV of the show organizers, our first concern is making sure there's business and education going on in the daytime. Hopefully that was the case for you last year as well.

We added the "Intensive Training" classes to this year's lineup, and also added some new workshops on producing content. Dave Cummings will be teaching a class on shooting and producing adult videos, and Spannow and Belinda will be doing a live photo shoot with Emily Saint. Also an increased focus on organic traffic generation, buying traffic, social networking, etc.

Please bookmark this thread for when people are copying us in 2010 so we can point back to it! Haha.
