BUSINESS THREAD : Trade Show Attendees List

Here is a tricky Question, Hopefully I'll have serious and constructive answers

Ok, I'm in a kind of "Damned if you do, Damned if you Don't" situation here...

I have an attendee of QWEBEC Expo who asks me for several weeks now to send him the list of our attendees.

I told him already that many many of your attendees are not on the list yet because, being a small show, many of our attendees register at the door, so until the first day, we don't know yet that they are coming... Some other confirmed and give us a solid YES, but haven't entered their registration yet or we are still awaiting for the staff lists form some of our sponsors. So the list is not complete at the moment.


I am honestly a bit uncomfortable with this...

1- This is my private a data, it's kinda asking a program sending you a list of their affiliates.

2- I wouldn't mind giving it to my sponsors on request though.

3- Before saying yes right now, keep in mind that YES you'll have everyone's names & emails, but THEY will have yours too...

4- Since many are not from the "active" community here, I'm not sure if they would appreciate to have their info given away like this. I imagine the guy get emails from "PORN COMPANIES, OMG", Just because he's registered to an upcoming Adult Industry Event, and the wifey doesn't know about it yet...

5- On a legal side, is it kinda against some "Privacy Policy" common sense.

I asked some others and one told me "yes" and other ones told me "NO WAY". As far as the 2 BIG ONES Are concerned, aside to their major sponsors, I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

Eric or Side Chick, Are you guys giving this? I can understand that it can be yes to your sponsors, but to other attendees ?


I'm open to hear what you have to say about it.

Txs Forward
