I'll be going to the Phoenix Forum next week (love that show!) and the San Diego Cybernet Expo (have high-hopes for that event - looks to be a good one)... but for the FIRST Internext/ia2000 since 1999 I will be boycotting the summer Florida show.
Why? Because after evaluating what I'd "gotten" out of attending the past few years in a row, the summer show just isn't worth the time and the $$$ to attend. I think it's just a matter of taste. I am starting to appreciate the mid-sized gatherings like Phoenix Forum and Cybernet over the mega-shows (although I am a Vegas freak so ya know I'll always go to that one) and dinky 100+ webmaster gatherings. Local 25-50 get-to-gethers are cool too... but I would only go to something like that if it was a drive-able distance.
On another board we were talking about how many shows we'd attended over the years - I've personally gone to over 23 that I could count/remember... I don't think that sitting *one* out will be too big a loss.
