Well, you probably just missed the one that you would've liked best.

Xbiz Vegas is next up. Small-ish Vegas show at Hard Rock. Expect mostly a west coast crowd plus many of the usual trade show party players cuz it is in Vegas.

Internext Miami in August. Lots of people prefer it over the Vegas Internext. This probably the 2nd or 3rd largest show of the year behind Phoenix Forum and maybe Vegas Internext. As you may have seen in another thread though, the Westin is booked, so you're staying offsite or on waiting list at this point. GonZo will be representing FFN's at this one.

I dont keep up with the international shows being the American that I am, but I know there are upcoming shows in Montreal, Munich, Amsterdam and Berlin.

Island Gathering in Curacao is sometime in October. Small show, but IMO most of the attendees at this one have already made their money, have good business and aren't exactly hungry. Good tax-free Carribbean trip though.

Webmaster Access LA is a west coast show personified, that's November.

I dont know if the 2008 shows are announced or not, but I believe we'll have a Vegas Internext again sometime near CES...hopefully after again. And I believe there will be a Tahoe show again. One of those two is likely my next show unless I get a wild hair up my ass.
