Porn is worth something too... it costs to produce it, the girls have to get paid at the very least, there's equipment to buy, there's demand for the product, etc., yet people still take what they can get for free more often than pay for it. It's why so many people here are complaining about the $300 badge now for a three day event -- that wouldn't have happened in 2003, for example, when porn sales were higher. Either enough people see the big picture, or they can instead choose to think of themselves as clever freeloaders and watch as all the show organizers move on to other things.

Let me preface this by saying again that I did buy a badge, but I do see Fuzebox's point. It's not just that the economy was doing better in 2003, but in 2003 Internext was a different animal- a huge show floor at the Sands convention center, a prime location on the strip, and tons of attendees. Since then the show has slimmed down considerably in what it is and what it has to offer, but the price of admission has stayed the same- that's an issue.

I don't think AVN is going to go away, I still love the Miami show and I want to see them do well, but I do think they face some considerable challanges moving forward for Vegas. IMHO something needs to change.

That's what I'm saying about us being played at shows. It's bullshit, and we should stop acting like dumb tourists. The show has been going on in Vegas for well over a decade. There simply isn't any excuse why it isn't held at a venue that appreciates having us there and LOWERS prices in order to get the show.

OMG, 5 dollar non alch drinks? Are you fucking kidding me?!? Maybe I will stay with the XBIZ conferences in L.A....

No industry people in sight

There's a valid point there about the show bringing the people together. Then again, I fly to Vegas to meet with large groups of webmaster friends even when there isn't a show.

p.s. Connor your show is great, and unlike the AVN shows I don't feel taken advantage of after paying for it

The answers are yes, and yes.

Internext is in no danger, nor is AVN. Take whatever you have heard with a grain of salt. There have been rumors without any substance going around. AVN and Internext are alive and well, and in the same period of change that all of us in the business are in.

FEEDBACK

If you were at Internext (or not, but especially if you were) last week, I'd love to hear your feedback on how to improve the convention. Constructive criticism please. My intention is to help Internext evolve into a convention that is up-to-date with the times.

Keep in mind that the January Internext cannot be easily compared to its summer counterpart or (for example) the Phoenix Forum. These two shows are very much self-contained in their respective locations. Las Vegas, as we all know, is a very unique location which presents challenges on several levels. Nonetheless, Las Vegas is a very popular spot for Internext.

I look forward to compiling your feedback.
