2007 Internext NOT in March

[XXXWriterDude]

Hey folks, this was posted on the GFY board yesterday by the trade show organizer Renee Johnson:
Internext 2007 Dates

Thanks for all your feedback over the last few days regarding Internext (good and bad). I just wanted to let you all know that we are not finalizing dates in March of 2007. This was a big mistake due to the proximity of other shows. We are doing everything we can to remain in our established time frame (early January), while steering clear of the craziness of CES and AEE. We will come up with some plausible options as far as venues and availability over the next few weeks and will be posting a link for you all to cast your vote.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Renee Johnson
Senior Show Manager, Internext

Not sure why she didn't post that here, but you should head over there and leave some feedback on that thread. It's already 3 pages long. Or you can leave your feedback here and I can send Renee the link.

Looks like we'll not be going to Vegas next year then if its going to be the same time as this year

By moving to a different date, Internext at least had a chance of surviving.

Well, there were many who complained that if we moved the show to March, they would not attend as well. So I guess that old adage is true that you just can't please everyone.

If I'm not mistaken, Renee is asking for webmasters to give their two cents so that we can better accomodate more of you. I would take this opportunity to put your two cents in at the very least. Head on over to that thread and raise your voice.

Just be aware that we are open to your criticism and are attempting to make the show as beneficial to as many people as possible.

Ken, its not that people wouldnt attend because of the timing, its that people wouldnt attend because of the Phoenix show being at the end of March and, quite honestly, i dont think there is anyone who would attend both Internext and Phoenix in the same month for the pure fact that Phoenix, for many, is a much more enjoyable and profitable show hands down.

Perhaps if Vegas was moved to February it would be better all round?

Head on over to that thread and raise your voice.

You are aware that a lot of people (especially gay marketers) wont post on GFY arent you?

Hmmmmm, Lee, did you miss something, fella? The title of this thread is "2007 Internext NOT in March."

That's actually the point of this thread, to find out when you would rather us plan it.

Then post your thoughts here and I will send Renee the link to this thread, as I mentioned in my original post.

No i didnt miss it, was just explaining why people said they wouldnt be attending in March if it was left at that time slot

Likewise, if you run a search for 'internext' on GWW you'll find a bunch of reasons from people as to why they dont attend in January also, the primary reason being that it is to expensive to get hotel rooms and flights AND passes.
