I always come back from the cybernet expo shows saying the same thing. "They always pick a hotel far from anything with poor service, the parties are unorganized, but the networking opportunities are Outstanding."

This show was no exception, and as we all know, the typcially loyal gay community tends to shy away from this event. But we made several new business contacts, and further built relationships with those we don't get to talk to at internext shows as they are too crazy. Ynot Jay did a lot of work, and I am not sure he was given enough kudos.

I know Darren, Scott and I put together a nice idea or two, and I am excited to move forward. Several other deals were also done, so I really can't complain on the business side.

Note to sponsors: Be at your own parties, especially at the front door, and maybe you won't have the hired security turn your customers away. (I will save the details for another thread if asked)

Note to Hotels: You would think you would staff your bar better, and not run out of alcohol. This hotel bar lost a fortune by taking advantage of webmasters coming to town.

Thanks to the sponsors that did create this opportunity, and who picked up the slack with the impromptu parties.
