They did, but it's really tough to keep a focused show in the Big Apple, and it's really pricey.

Chicago, almost good enough for the olympics! st. petersburg would be amazing though.

Morgan Sommer · 02-05-2010, 02:08 PM

I would love to go to a show in Madrid, or Portugal somewhere, Italy would be awesome too. If it's summer then Berlin. ;-)

Sid70 · 02-05-2010, 02:11 PM

London, Rome

JenniDahling · 02-05-2010, 02:16 PM

Madrid and Ibiza get my vote for the summer months, but if you do it again in Feb, did you know that Andorra has an ice hotel? Who would have thunk it!

Roald, you kill me with the Iceland suggestion. Heehee

Actual Mike · 02-05-2010, 02:16 PM

Although I would love to go to a show in more "fun" places: Australia, Thailand, Japan, etc... from a practical standpoint, Paris, London and Prague make the most sense. Vancouver could also work since it's right above Vegas and LA.
I don't think holding a show in October is very practical since Oktoberfest is the last week of Sept and as JFK pointed out, Venus is in Oct. My vote if you are doing a show in the 2nd half of the year would be Nov. If you are going to do an October show, having it REALLY close to the Oktoberfest Gathering would be perfect so everyone who goes to that can just fly directly to the next show ;)

I like the idea of Cancun..
Could just do $1000-$1500 per person with flight from the USA/Canada..
All you can eat.. all you can drink.. for free no real need for sponsorships
Lots to do. *if you want to do sponsor ships *wet wet t-shirt contents or just sponsor the wave-runners . Could do it at the start or just b4 the off season.. and rent the place out.. They should be happy even if they only sell 1/3 the rooms..

Free badges... then even the little guys can make it down as its just the same as the cost for a flight and a room to any other show for them..

And no need to worry about getting stuck with the drink / dinner bill as people dash just before it shows up....

Chicago? You can't even get people that live there to come out. I go to Chicago shows all the time and they are the smallest, hands down.

So Amsterdam directly to Munich directly to another show ? And then fit in Berlin for the people going there

If someone could schedule another couple of shows, you wouldn't even need to go home anymore.

I'd say November is a good time both for people that wanna close a couple of quick deals before the end of a tax year or to make postponed deals for the new tax year

Pretty sure everyone of even average intelligence has at least heard of "Nice." It is my understanding that English is not very well accepted there, or have I been misled?

Well, let's put it this way ... I speak English, German and Spanish, and no French ... and I usually survive better with my German and Spanish in the South of France than with my English :D

So, why have a conference somewhere like that? Same thing with Portugal. Getting stuck there on the way to Barcelona sucked. You know it is bad when they don't even speak English at the airport. Unless you are not looking for participation from the US, of course.

Good, valid point. I did not know that about Portugal (but I guess I could have assumed it).

No, a basic level of English in the host city is an absolute must, as my conference is - as you know from your own experience - held mainly in English.

Thanks for the valuable advise baddog!

What about a private cruise???

http://smallshipcruises.com/silversea.shtml

Take over an entire cruise ship just for ourselves and cruise to cool places, while conducting seminars/panels on the days at sea. There's a lot to do, without having to go anywhere, and a great deal for what you get (food, destinations, gambling, etc)

There are several ships that accommodate 300 people and under, so it would be pretty easy to fill based on the amount of registrants you have for the Barcelona Summit

Only trouble is Internet is expensive, but at least available

TBS_Andreas · 02-05-2010, 04:23 PM

Jenni just reminded me of an idea we had for the very first Summit: To do it on a cruise ship. We did not do it back than, because we figured 400-500 people would not like to be stuck on a ship together for 48-72 hours. What is your take on this?

I think other than maybe Nov/Dec , most months have a show so it will always be a conflicting date for a lot of webmasters....will be a matter of which show they choose to attend.

Sharky · 02-06-2010, 08:06 AM

London is way too expensive. I attended iDate and Ad-tech there last year and it was by far the most expensive 5-day trip I have taken to date.

gaffg · 02-06-2010, 09:31 AM

Scotland - has English, not too expensive to fly into and easily accessible via UK. Might not be as pricy as London but I'm sure hotels can be had for high and low end rates.

baddog · 02-06-2010, 10:44 AM

I would go if ever in Ireland.

DamianJ · 02-06-2010, 10:57 AM

Most major cities in Europe are expensive for Americans. I notice no difference in prices between London, Amsterdam, Paris, Dublin, Rome, etc.

My vote would be London. Easiest international connections and 50 mins from where I live. :D

Klen · 02-06-2010, 11:04 AM

I agree Damian. I do not find any price differences anymore between major cities in Western Europe.

The currently weak dollar is a major problem for my participants and sponsors from the U.S. currently for sure. Definitely does not help when it comes to attracting people from the U.S. to my show.

On the other hand - I was just in London for a gathering last Tuesday, and I found London to be CHEAP (even compared to Barcelona) - as the Pound is close to it's all-time historic low against the Euro...

Exo-Geoffrey · 02-09-2010, 02:40 AM

Ibiza for summer shows and Geneva for winter shows

notime · 02-09-2010, 03:13 AM

Why not make Barcelona the "fixed spot" and do a traveling show in a different city each quarter or 3 times per year (so not the same city twice)?
Should bring another crowd and many local to each show also.
Rome, Paris, London, Prague, Lisbon, Cancun, Toronto, Hamburg, Dublin, Brussels, Budapest, etc.

huda · 02-09-2010, 03:18 AM

Yes, that was my original idea. To have a fixed show in Barcelona one time per year, and than a second one rotating between Paris, London, Rome, Ibiza, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Prague and Madrid...

Brings us back to the question, which 2 month per year would be good for that (without conflicting with other shows)? And - is that not too many shows? What's your take?
