Rather than be a keyboard warrior maybe some of you who do nothing but bitch should get off your lazy asses and actually attend a conference and participate in its contents. I get it, much easier to criticize than work. I attend most of the conferences and sit on lots of panels, other times moderate.

Mike, really? You're criticizing a moderator who took the role very seriously and spent hours preparing relevant questions for each panelist because only one of the seven of us submitted him questions to ask? Let's be serious and at least respect the guy who treated us and the audience with respect. Moderating isn't easy either, you should try it sometime. I failed miserably the first time I did at Xbiz LA two years ago, it takes practice. Douglas did his job well and there isn't any conspiracy here. I get that you are probably insensitive to others which is your prerogative but what you've just posted in this thread is nonsense and at best only hurtful to someone who really was working 110% and giving it his all.

Mike you know that I enjoyed meeting you, we had a good talk I thought and I do respect your integrity... but saying there were Manwin plants in the audience getting preferential treatment to ask questions (was only a few) is absurd. They have so many employees of course there were a couple in the audience but the few questions asked and answered were not figured out in advance, I'm certain of it. Rumours like this don't help anyone. There weren't but one hand in the air to ask a question each time because the audience was afraid or put off by some of the blow hards on the panel.

Despite Xbiz best efforts to make this a great seminar it was the panelists that didn't excel and that's just the way it crumbles sometimes. I did the best job that I could to add value and maybe everyone tried but on this day as a whole it definitely wasn't as awesome as others. A seminar is supposed to be a venue to pose questions, share information and give attendees "take away" value so they can grow their business... And with respect for everyone's time, add some levity and get people thinking as much as possible.

I look forward to seeing the video. Thanks everyone!

Brad

Its alright Brad actually i thought we did pretty good.....

I might be a mean son of a bitch but I would never attack our moderator or our panel ....actually I only attack those, who in my not so humble opinion, are worthy LOL.

Give xbiz a break, they are probably still in miami at exotica and party hard at the freeones party.

Everyone bitched at xbiz for having pornhub, who I'm sure won't sponsor another seminar and now xbiz has to drop everything to show you what happened?

Because partying is more important than the news for X-Biz?

They really arent a news org ,they are an ad selling org just like avn. I can see someone has to go thru all the footage shot. As an editor I can see its long and boring and being put off.

yes , just like any raw TV footage gets edited for continuity, to pick up the pace, you dont want to see me zooming in and out to focus on the moderator or the panel, or the audience, it all has to flow to look good

Mike South isn't even listed in that X-Biz article. Are you sure he was there?

Perhaps the X-Biz reporter was out having a drink in between writing up press releases.

I noticed that there was another X-Biz article that mentions Mike South's name a few times:

Quote:
With the amount of information presented in the XBIZ Summit seminar series, it is likely that many attendees are asking questions about the future of the adult entertainment industry and their role in it. Hoping to provide answers was the final presentation, ?An Industry in Flux: Where Are We Headed??

?Be a part of a colorful debate on the current and future state of the adult entertainment industry, featuring a panel of influential industry figures, as they reveal their projections for what we can expect in the coming months and years,? teased the event?s promoters. ?For decision makers tasked with developing their online company's future business and marketing plans, this highly anticipated session is sure to be an eye-opener.?

An eye (and ear) opener it was?

Moderated by Douglas Richter of AWEmpire, panelists included Colin Rowntree of Wasteland.com and Mike South of MikeSouth.com, joined by Brad Mitchell of MojoHost, along with Dominic Ford of DominicFord.com, plus Michel Lozier from Maleflixxx / Sureflix and Mark Galione of CyberCat, Inc.
Quote:
?We need to take some of the focus off of technology and put more money into marketing,? South said, adding, ?We also need to stop trying to figure out how to screw the customer.?

Mike, Dan got a few things wrong, apart from your comments. He is a good guy, but he needed to watch the videos. :-)
