I thought the show was better for networking then past years. The giant booths with boxing rings and loud music look great but most people at the show had already heard of CE and the like. I don’t think it’s necessary to throw outrageous parties to gain new business. It seems companies are holding dinners and small receptions to toast their current clients and gain new specific ones rather then hold a huge party to gain some new webmasters but mainly cater to people who want free drinks.

The poker tournament was a great idea and gameworks always rocks! T

I welcome the smaller more effective shows, less walking and the free t-shirts don’t do anything for me as they are all XXL and I’m, well …a tad smaller then that:-) I liked the fact there were smaller booths and companies with new products not just another affiliate program to join. Meeting the boys from Zend who came up with php was very interesting.

The poker tournament was a great idea and gameworks always rocks! Nothing has topped the Xbash with David Lee Roth a few years back, but the main sponsor for that show Hanco closed shop 6 months later, I guess the bigger party you throw doesn’t mean you are or will be a success. We need someone to spend their hard earned money on getting Vince Neil for the show next year, I’ll promote your program I promise:-)

All and all, I think it was a great show. Of course my business isn’t selling floor space and ads in a trade show publication.
