Then all the advertising opportunites probably brings in another quarter to half a million. I'm guessing it brings in around $2 million dollars.
As for cost I'm sure renting the Expo hall is in the high six figures. Then you've got printing the show guides, badges, staffing, promotions, processing charges, etc. Probably cost them 1 to 1.5 million to operate.....Then you have to remember they employ some people full time to sell advertising, make arrangments, negotiate, etc....for the winter show, the summer show and Adult Expo (which is an even bigger event).

One thing you are forgetting in Vegas, when biz is brought to the casino, there is always the "kick back" increased revenues for biz at the tables etc. Buddy is a host in Vegas; it?s a standard deal to large groups that roll that many people with that kind of money in.
Everyone should make there money, of course as Joe and Sleazy say it?s the American world wide dream to be successful and do well. But, what I am saying is the very same way the Sponsors, merchant banks, and every other small company "gives back" to the people that make them money, all I am saying is for Internext to 'HAVE A PARTY, OR SOMETHING"
AVN has the awards, what does Internext have? SleazyDream VIP/TGP dinner< or The Players Ball, Rum Jungle? all sponsor attendee driven....
So I guess I am to believe that AVN/Internext is so tight with there budget they cant afford to do SOMETHING ANYTHING to show some kind of "hey thanks for coming out another year" or "you guys are doing some great biz, here is a party for you"........nada...
I hope a thought like this might shake up or maybe provoke some out side the normal status quo thinking on this matter!
