It's like pulling teeth. Stores (and even distributors) still prefer faxes for communication. Most have pretty Neanderthal-era websites if they have any web presence at all. And that is the realm of the majority of companies at AEE.

I think that last year's experiment was well-intentioned... to put the online and the bricks-and-mortar shows at the same time so there'd be more opportunity for convergence. Unfortunately, somebody overlooked the fact that AEE is about 90% an end-user show, so it totally didn't work.

I'm hopeful that the GayVN summit may be more along the lines of convergence... seems they are making a serious effort to get studios to show up, and so it may give a better-than-normal opportunity for the two groups to mix.
