What changes would you make to Internext?

Hi Aly,

My main concern is the power of business shifting from trade floor to off premise or soley networking at the parties and events... Many get the booths because they are AFRAID to take the risk of NOT exhibiting.

Some have decided to for go exhibiting and send a crew to network one one one to get the B2B, and B2C done.

I understand the costs of putting on a show, Sharpie has taught me well for over a decade....

But the price of an attendee ticket has to come down, or some form of payments can be made, and AVN can finance the admission some how...LOL and let webmasters make payments. Let them make payments, or let them set up something a year before the show and let them paypal in towards their ticket, gives them a year to pay in advance..instead of coming up with the money right afer the holidays or before the holidays.

This would also give AVN some operating capital :-)

Or.

Find a way to make a kick back on all parties thrown under your event and use this for profit so that floor tickets are more affordable. Rather you pinch the sponsors that the webmaster.

Foot traffic is key on that floor, and I think the price does not have the value it did when that business model went into effect in 1997.

Just my 2 cents plus prime :-)
