Connor,

As I stated publicly right after our Vegas summer show, we are forced to move away from the month of July in 2009. Although the beginning of June has always been our ideal time of year, we?ve held it in July solely to minimize proximity with other shows. But when our attendees are literally begging us to move our show to an earlier time, we can?t ignore them ? we MUST listen and act on their feedback.

I contacted LAJ when I saw the Cybernet Expo announcement, hoping that we could figure out a way to work things out since you guys knew we?d be moving from July. Unfortunately the later months suggested by LAJ would not work for us or would pose tremendous challenges because we need sufficient time to produce our 2 winter events (February Conference & Awards).

As you know, my company continues to give Cybernet Expo coverage and promotions regardless of your personal opinion of me (as you?ve openly expressed to others in the past and continue to do).

According to LAJ you stated that I should expect to be personally (and publicly) attacked if we do not decide against our new June dates.

So, the point of this post is to let you (and the community) know that I am still prepared to disregard any personal issues and have our companies figure out a way to work things out.
