XBIZ 360 - Digital Media Conference -Los Angeles, 2013 - pictures from FUBAR
Here we go with the 1st of the 3 shows, that I shot this past couple of weeks. Tried to make it sooner, but the internet service at the hotel was @ its crappy usual self.
Now back to things at hand the pictures, we have them all, the show, the parties, the XBIZ Awards. Please check them out under, "Latest Event Photo Gallery" http://www.fubarwebmasters.com/index...065328d0b830d7 Thanks to Alec and Moe Helmy, for the star treatment and to our sponsors Ero Advertising and Adult Webmaster Empire without whom it would not have been possible. http://www.fubarwebmasters.com/galle...963/z00247.jpg http://www.fubarwebmasters.com/galle...963/z01415.jpg http://www.fubarwebmasters.com/galle...963/z01420.jpg http://www.fubarwebmasters.com/galle...963/z01484.jpg |

congrats, HP. They always have these shows at the worst time of the year for me. I am in Thailand, heading for Laos then Vietnam......Vegas just seems so far away from the beach and the food sucks to....lol.
And the nightlife here is far superior and really cheap. |

Not really much ROI at these shows any more for those of us that would have to be there on our own dime. |

Not sure how many webmasters were there in you nieche, but I know one thing, Europeans are coming over in droves, predominantly from Germany. You never know where an idea will come from, associating with like minded people, never hurt me yet.:okthumb: |

I attended one or two shows a year until a few years ago. If I do attend another show it won't be in LA or Vegas, maybe Montreal. |

I'm not saying there would be no benefit to attending, just that I don't think it likely that I'll see a justifiable return on the money I'd spend to be there. Particularly when you take into account that I can contact most of these people from where I'm sitting right now. |

I actually find travelling sometimes a good choice. When I go to Europe, I do content trades and meet people in my end of the biz. And as Toby mentioned, when you specialize like we do, there ain't much at these conventions except temptation and hubris that can misguide a boutique business. Tomorrow, like the last time I was here, I have meetings in Bangkok. And their ain't a bar in Vegas as cool as a Bangkok sky bar or a night on Soi Cowboy. A happy mix of focussed productive business, pleasure and endless 2 buck mojitos and 10 dollar massages.

Now granted, if I were a flunky for one of the companies still sending employees to these things you can bet I'd be singing the praises too so I would be booked to go to the next one. |

I'm with Toby. No knocks on the shows without actually attending, but I do not really need or want anything from them at this point.
Only way I'm likely to go is if somebody puts one on in a location I want to visit at a time of year I might actually want to go there. That makes it a no lose scenario for me. Only ones I know of coming up are Phoenix and the seemingly never ending string of European shows. No interest in Phoenix, and if I'm going to Europe I'm not wasting any of my time there at a webmaster show. Out of the "usual" venues, I'd do Vegas just because I always like Vegas. I might or might not even make an appearance on show floor though to be honest. Tampa will always lure me just so I can eat at Berns. San Fran is another I'd do just because I like the town. I dont see Montreal on the calendar....I'd consider that too. |
