Did anyone go to Cybernet ? how was it ?

JoesHO · 06-12-2006

I have seen no pics or heard any news, did it happen already?

It finished up yesterday and people are just starting to trickle in. Hopefully Klixxx will have some pics up soon from MikeB... I heard it went well - sorry I missed it this year - I always love the cozy networking of a Cybernet Expo.

Prelim reports say that the hotel management was a bit of a buzz kill.

Well... it was "under new ownership/management" or something this year I'd heard. Always the problem... we had that with the old AWEs mid-way through a season once - the hotel chain we contracted with switched and it totally messed stuff up. Dealing with the hotel is about 90% of the headache involved in organizing one of these regional deals. I don't know that I'd ever want to do it again - lol

I hope the rest of the event went well.

I hope that everyone did some good business, and retained their sense of humor. It has been a very bad time for all involved in the putting on the show. We did everything humanly possible to put on the same show we always do.

There is only so much we can say without attorney approval. It is not close to being over for us. But I will say that we received a letter of cancellation from the new ownership at a very late date and had to 'go to the mat to perserve the show. It was much too late to cancel. We have been continually harrassed, and put through a lot of mental hell. We have spent much more than the show made, and have taken risks that are very scarey. Ynot hung in there with us, knowing that they may never receive one penny for all Jay's efforts. But, there is just NO WAY the show was not going to happen. People gave us their money and trust. I have fought a lot of battles over the years for my credability, but this one was definiately the most costly. As an industry, we just cannot bend over and take whatever people decide to throw at us, on a whim. I just will not stand for it. You have to take a stand, 'whatever it takes!
