Future of Adult Trade Shows

[Cyndalie]

The future of trade shows in the adult internet industry is pretty easy to predict at this point... I think we are down to 3 - Internext, Cybernet & Xbiz, although I've never been to an xbiz - do they have a trade show?

We are pretty much an industry of gatherings and events at this point, and I think we will ever see the heyday of consumer foot traffic at these events again - unless there is a new technology revolution to market on a new platform as with what happened in adult. For now I think internet companies will have to merge with the fray of general adult shows and look at them as exposure rather than the B2B side of doing business - but there is something to be said for presence and doing business alongside of other vendors.

What are your thoughts on the future of adult trade shows for the internet side of the biz?

With more events than ever are you considering or even attending as many as you once were?
