Internet Tradeshows - What's going on?
There's been some controversy lately about the goings on at our tradeshows... Internext in particular.
All gossip aside, one thing I've noticed in the past year is that people really tend to look forward to these shows, not to get to them to do business, but for the party aspects. While I think this is all good, there has to be a point where one asks themself why they attend these shows.
To network and gain business contacts? I would hope so. That's the main reason I have always gone to them. But recently I've noticed that it's become a competition of who can get the rowdiest, drunkest, and craziest... Which is a bit disconcerting considering we're under the watchful eye of the locals wherever our events are organized.
