I was in SF last year, first show ever, and did some serious business. We met someone who we have been working with for the past year to build a VOD site, which is just about ready to go. No mean feat for a small company. I credit the show for that and it was serious injection of capital into the pot.
I met some people I do business with and solidified my high opinion of them....Brad Mitchel of Mojohost comes to mind. I finally met Gonzo and HP which I think has been good for professional development...lol.
I met some people I currently do business with and I now maintain a more arm's length relationship with them and have formulated some plan b's just in case.
I also met some people that I thought I might do business with in the future, but having met them, pigs will fly before that happens.
All in all a great experience. Some nice dinners some good times and a learning experience and I love San Francisco anyway and the heat wave was a bonus.
Having said all that, there are still telephones, trains, planes, and automobiles that can be used to get around and do business outside shows, which I think people overlook. I have been doing some of that lately which is very productive.
Just an opinon of a porn trade show neophyte.
