AVN time frame for next year
 

curious - and I know I have no real say in this but i'd like to discuss it here, would anyone else like to see internext AFTER CES and AVN movie convention instead of before? like around NOW....

empty vegas
cheaper flights - easier to get
easy to get rooms, cheaper
most will be able to stay at SAME hotel
not infringing on new year's eve holiday


thoughts?

Good Idea!

I just know one of these times i want to stick around for AVN to check it out, so i can get my copy of "Crispy Cream Dreams" signed!

I would prefer a later show as well ...

I don't agree with you often, but this would be one of those times.

A couple of weeks later would be perfect.

AVN gets a deal on the venues that CES does not use. They do not care about the hotel prices. AVN does not care about me, or you. What has AVN done for you, or this business? Nothing. They are all about $, and video idiots.

Yeah man, I live in Vegas and FUCKING hate the fact the CES and AVN are at the same time with InterNext coming first. Its really ridiculous. Too much traffic, no rooms etc.

Absolutely, moving the show out a couple weeks would be great.. as of now it's definitely too close to the holidays.

Very very good point. AVN are greedy fucks.

i saw a lot of improvement this year from avn - not saying they were perfect, (ie the lineups sucked and were a MAJOR problem) just saying they SEEMED to me to be much more receptive to input from webmasters is all.....

They need to split the 2 shows, far apart.

reality is, they need to SERIOUSY listen to your comments - if they don't - YOU can take it from them in a heartbeat.

good idea

duke

TOTALLY !!! Funny i was thinking about this while showering today how ironic ....

If the show was around the 3rd week of January that would be great!

DH

You make good points.
Maybe in the future they will make some serious changes, after everyone sees what's really going on.

I have heard, but not from AVN directly, that they are looking into making AVN and Internext one and the same show. I hope that was just a rumor and will not turn out to be true.

Yes & No <twocents>

Lens: we need the twocents as a main smiley.

personally, and my opinion doesn't really matter - but i DON'T think that would be a good idea. I'd prefer a seperate show, and there needs to be ONE big show a year in vegas for webmasters

mind you - same time - different convention rooms would be totally fine and probally a good idea......but NOT the same time as CES.

that would be INSANLY stupid. - one week or so later. Doesn't have to be a weekend either - cheaper weekday rates are fine and prefered - less people in vegas!

They have their whole staff in Vegas. They would never fly everyone out for a few days and then come back a week later.

It will never happen!

:2 cents:

I wish our converntion would come 2nd, but I think the AEE show is so big and labor intensive for them that Internext is more like a warm-up for their main presentation.

:2 cents: again

You sure there aren't any other conventions going on in that timeframe? last time I checked Vegas is the hotspot for conventions.

http://www.freevegasguide.com/conventions/index.html - an example of what you could expect next year in that time frame.

nice sig, mailman :D :1orglaugh

honestly i was going to start this thread because the three on at the same time pretty much fucked up all chances of getting cheaper flights and rooms and getting around the town without lining up for cabs which sucked pretty much

Early/mid spring would be nice

i agree - but i would DEF like to be second then.

def dont' want to be there at ces time

maybe combine the shows but have only business to business first few days of show then fans allowed last couple days and give online peeps option if we want in on the fan days or get the hell out.
also, hope they make it mid January next time, kills the holiday time otherwise.

I heard a rumor that this was the last Vegas Internext, which I think would be a better idea than the rumor you heard

will internext even be on next year?

it is scaling down large..i think i can see it being combined into the AVN show..lol

if the queues at this years show for registration are anything to go by then i dont see them closing it down at all why would they

Could not agree more...I think the turnout would be better.

Doesn't matter to me - I'll still be there for both shows 8-10 days total

:helpme

Is it me, or did Lens add the two cents as a main smiley?
Not sure if I was out of it when I made the above post :1orglaugh

Thanks Mistur :thumbsup

Much better in the long run. The time placement is just horrible. :2 cents:

Plus, I'd like to see it go back to the weekend....like it used to be. This middle of the week thing, while it allegedly weeds out surfers....also weeds out a few who would otherwise go.

Sleazy, I agree! The shows are entirely to close to the holidays. I feel like I have been away for a month! On another note, I would like to add that for the amount of money spent on a badge, you would think they could mail all pre paid badges prior to the show. Just my :2 cents: :)
