I had a good time at the show, had meetings pre arranged and managed to talk to some new people, mainly at the L3 / topbucks suite, and at the circle bar.
But the show is what you make of it, and some of the bad points were mentioned. The show is so much smaller than before so it gets dwarfed being in Vegas.
I'd say the show was an improvement on last year, but still has a few things to be worked on.
It is very tough imo to have all the shows overlaping, especially for some of us that are trying to attend more than one, sure its great that its all at once in a sense that you only have to fly out once, get one room, but it does spread people thin, and I had to attend affiliate summit on Monday because I was flying home on Tuesday, so I missed out on a few oppertunities that internext was offering because of this.
All in all the shows are only what you make of them, if you expect to have people all over coming up to you and getting deals done then good luck. If you pre arrange some, and work hard meeting people then there are still deals to be done.
