I agree with Boneprone on this one. The Gold Coast blows. And since I know its coming, so does downtown. Jesus people. Why not just move it to the Motel 6 on trop. I dont care if the rooms are $29.99, have some dignity.

On that note, you mentioned not comparing the show to Summer Internext or Phoenix Forum due to the exclusive hotel. Why cant you do that in Vegas? You're not going to book the Hard Rock but plenty of Mission Palms style hotels (non gambling) in Vegas/Henderson. Then have a constant stream of shuttle buses going to the strip.

And I know you guys I are in love with having this show coincide with AEE, so then just combine it. Otherwise its just ass backwards. You have the Vegas version when its 40 degrees and the FL version when its humid as hell. Switch em and have Winter Internext in Miami, push Summer Internext to September at an exclusive hotel in Vegas. Have it over a weekend so companies could throw Football parties etc.

Speaking of parties, I know everyone likes to spout off about how they love going to these shows for business only and no need for parties/drinking, each show was more productive then the last because only the important people were there blah blah blah. BullShit!

If you want more people to come to the shows then give them a reason to. I am an affiliate. I go to the shows to meet with the people I do business with and discuss new opportunites but could I do that without a show? Sure, for the most part. But throw in some fun parties and a good atmosphere and it gives me a great excuse to take a work vacation with the wife. I know other affiliates just like this. Phoenix does it right and get's more attendees because they have a good mix of business events and a good mix of entertainment events scheduled. What was at Internext this year? A warm up party at the above mentioned shit hole and yet another Players Ball (ie: which one would you rather see; Ludacris, JayZ or Kane West? Well we cant afford any of em so we're going with another rapper that had some hits in the 80's).

So to sum up my rant...

*Move it to late Summer/early Fall and Miami to Jan.
*Move it to a non gaming hotel and book the entire thing.
*Have shuttle buses constantly going to and from locations on the strip so people could gamble if they wanted to.
*More entertainment events scheduled at night throughout the city (shuttle buses for travel) This is where most of the business gets done anyway.

In short make it an actual internet porn convention again and stop trying to water it down into an insurance convention. And for the love of god stop trying to charge the talent. That should be a no brainer but apparently it keeps needing to be said.
