Are Trade Shows a thing of the past?

Look Im not saying they shouldnt profit, they should...what I am saying is market your product to your target market stop trying to be everything to everyone...it doesnt work.

If you want to be a fan show dont rape your exhibitors, you need them to survive...as Adult Expo is finding out.

If you want to be a trade show keep the fans out, or at least limit it to those willing to make an effort to pretend to be legit....Those guys sometimes do get in the biz....I did.

BTW I like Cybernet Expo I think it is one of the better shows but I cant justify going to SFO for it
