How many tradeshows do you go to?
That's if you go to any at all.
I used to go to a lot of them, maybe 6 or 8 a year but as soon as my son was born I cut it back to 2 a year, maybe 3 at the most. I go to the Phoenix Forum every year, and I try to make it to Vegas for Internext in January although I have missed it the past couple of years. I go to Qwebec Expo every year too since it is right in my back yard.
What shows do you attend, and why?

mm .. I used to do about 6 - 10 a year. However in the last couple of years I've had to reduce it to alot less (eventhough there are alot more conventions now) Mmm m.. Lets see in 2006 I did 7, so far in 2007 I've only done 3 so far, and figure I'll probably do another 2 ... If they fell on a weekend I'd probably do more.

I've never been big on shows....
This year I went to Phoenix Forum, and I'll be going to Xbiz and YP.
YP is still my favorite and I consider it more of an vacation than anything else - although still some serious business gets done there.

I show up at a trade show once a year. I go incognito just to pester some of the whiney webmasters who are big and tough online but when you meet em' live they run like roaches.
All in all the majority of people at the shows are nice and funny. It's good to shake hands with people you chat and work with online.

Well.. let's see... I went to one way back when in 2000 i believe in new Orleans.... then didn't go to another one until 2006. LOL
I will likely go to the Florida show again here in 2007. The Vegas shows seem to me like their would be way too many distractions to get any meaningful business done. I know if I was in vegas I'd want to be playing poker cash games and tournies all the time.

I stopped going to the Vegas shows in 2003 - burnt out on them. Too big to be really productive and more fanfare than substance.
Now I go to 2-3 shows per year. At least one Webmaster Access, Internext Miami, and the other varies - usually Phoenix.

I use to do alot of shows as well, but cut back on Vegas simply because it has lost its direction. now its phoenix - internext florida - webmaster east (though if they are moving it to newyork, not going anymore) - I love qwebec expo, but that is always a toss up to the head office for me.

That they are. WMA East is going on a three city rotation apparently. NY - Montreal - Toronto.
For me being new to the industry, it depends really on what shows Dave decides he wants PB reps at. I'll be going to Internext Miami in Aug. Next show after that I'm not too sure on. It most likely will be WMA West in LA.
I'd love to check out the Quebec Expo as I have quite a few WM's in Montreal, but if any of us are heading there, it won't be decided till after Internext.

We used to hit 3 or 4 shows a year, but like Chris said, having kids changes things, in the last two years we have only been to one show. Hopefully we are going to hit the summer internext show in FLA. Would like to get back to going to maybe 2 or 3 a year.

A couple of years ago I think Dh did all the shows in a year, got travel burn out that year for sure.
We have cut back to a select few, but the ones we love to hit are Miami, Europe webmaster access, LA webmaster access, Phoneix forum and of course and TO shows.

I used to do 6-8 a year but am now down to 4. Strain on family and time out of office are the big reasons on cutting back. Also consolidating to the shows where I get business done. If I was alone, younger and with less responsibility, I'd like to go to one a month. I really enjoy seeing friends, business acquaintences and meeting new ones.
