Dave your right...shall i lead off?
1. Badges at the shows for 300 dollars is a joke
2. Panel speakers need to be people who know what they are talking about or get rid of some of the panels if you cant fill them
3. over prices cabana, booths, and banners - shrinking show attendance does not mean price should go up, should come down to what its realistic
4. Xbiz Marrott woodland hills? was a bad choice, Roosevelt was amazing and classy, style points big time...
5. Pool at Xbiz /Hard Rock...pool music was so loud could not even hear who i was talking to in any of the cabanas, this is a feeling that was shared by most people i talked to...Music is good but at that level, was almost funny...
Really think that the formula that Xbiz and AVN is trying to top each other etc...is an old school, ancient outdated way of doing business in todays world.
I realize its a business the "trade show" business, but its shrinking, and not looking good, to stay on course these ideas above are a start...but there is alot more that these groups need to do. I know of some groups that are setting up "gatherings" in selected hotels around the world for invited companies....
Anyway this was some things I have thought of, i hope that they are looked at as "constructive criticism"....I dont care who puts the shows on, i just want to see "great shows" dazzle us....make us want to come again......
