It's true, just ask me! I compare the Summer Internext to the Phoenix Forum for good reason. The event is more about networking and getting to know each other in a very relaxed setting, in comparison to other events that tend to be more about partying than the business at hand. Not that I'm going to miss any of the Gay parties, or some of the others as well.

As far as offering a Gay roundtable, I think that is fantastic, however I'm going to be attending more than just that one offering. If you look at the line up of topics, there is plenty of selections for all companies, not just Gay or just straight. After all, much of the way we do business, get traffic, build our brand, utilize technology etc. is the same no matter if your promoting a Gay company or a straight company. Additionally Badpuppy does a great deal of cross over promotions and advertising with so called straight companies, who offer Gay websites and products.

I much prefer the Summer Internext over the Vegas Internext. We of course attend and support both, but there is just something about the show in Hollywood that makes it stand apart from many others.

Last year we cleaned up on new business and added to existing business relationships and did most of this just hanging out by the pool, or by the ocean front bar, "Splash", over a good cuban sandwich, or their yummy wings.

I highly recommend the Summer Internext and on top of the above mentioned, the fact is that there are East Coast companies that only attend that show and events on the Eastern side of the states, avoiding the West Coast shows and frankly I'd love to have their business! It will be a great show no doubt!
