If they can get their act together and make changes for the better of the show, then I am all for it.
Last year I was not “talked into going”. I went because I always buy a badge and go in to see what they offer.
It was the same old show. But by far, much worse. Any of us who bought a badge last year, know that.
The only thing that changed, was the fact that there were a LOT less booths, and a LOT less people at those booths. The floor was virtually empty, all 3 days.
We all felt ripped off. We all said that they need to change.
So they made changes. Changes that are seemingly taken from the Miami show. I have not attended Miami for the past 2 years, so all I know is what I have heard 2nd hand from various people.
Most of them saying it was not worth the price, for what they got. That seems to be the biggest issue with people.
It’s very easy to sit back and say “This is going to be crappy show because the past 3 or 4 have been going down hill”. But the past 3 or 4 have been the same show, going downhill.
I don’t recall any “major” changes in the show last year. (Or am I forgetting something?)
Good or bad, they did try to make changes to the show. So if you don’t plan on going to see the changes and judge the show for yourself, how can you support not going?
That’s like bad mouthing a movie that you’ve never seen yourself, just because the director put out a few bad ones in the past.
I have no idea what to expect from this show, but if I don’t go in, it will be awfully hard to judge how bad it was, based on the last few.
I’d rather be pro-active and try to help make some changes for the better so that everyone can go in and turn it into a profitable experience for everyone.
Nothing is going to change if we just sit back and do nothing.
I’m not trying to talk you into going. I know where you stand. I’m just trying to give AVN feedback about WHY people don’t go or are not going to go in the future.
If AVN sees that by lowering the price by $100 will bring 500-1000 more people in the door and make it more successful, then they might make the changes.
Or at least offer some options like they did in the past.
If affiliates see that more webmasters are attending they will buy more booths or do more stuff to drum up business.
That’s how it supposed to work anyway.
See my point?
