GoFuckYourself.com - Adult Webmaster Forum - View Single Post - AVNChris says it was silly of XBIZ to give away free registration, what do YOU think?

As a sponsor and attendee of almost every show for the past 10 years, I think Free or discounted registration prices are where we need to be with all of the shows out there now. I love AVN, love Xbiz, and the CCbill shows too and well as Cybernet and Webmaster access but I do think if you want to get people to your shows you have to make it cost effective to be there. To be totally effective, you need to have low cost admission, low cost hotel rooms and not be at a location where food and drink are priced out too. Otherwise, you are only going to get the few of us that can really afford to bring ourselves and our staff, and this will leave out many webmasters and affiliates.

NOTE: All of these shows are great for us as a billing company. You guys need to focus on getting the affiliates there because as you know, the program owners are there to make affiliate deals and it all trickles down from there. Many programs do not come and attend or sponsor anymore because many of the affiliates are not attending.... get them there somehow.

IMO
