The Trade Show Marathon

Here we are just finished with WebmasterAccessLA and it seems as if The Island Gathering 2007 was just a few weeks ago...Oh, wait; it was!

Who knew the New York City Marathon would be such good training for the e-commerce trade show circuit in the new millennium?

In addition to all the usual industry shows, every forward thinking webmaster is also attending Ad-tech, T.R.A.F.F.I.C., Affiliate Summit, iDate, and many more. Exclusive and all-inclusive events are starting to define the event concept for the industry, and with more CEOs seeking to limit participation to high ROI events with their peers, the perfect mix of business and pleasure for decision makers still belongs to Island Gathering and Panama Summit – proven concept, proven reputation, proven results. Invitations for The Panama Summit will be going out soon.

I have it on good authority that Sherri is once again raising the bar on my personal favorite - watch for updates on the 2008 Phoenix Forum in beautiful downtown Tempe. The garlic fries at Gordon Biersch are calling to me as I write...

Chris and the crew at AVN are working hard on an all new January Internext… and what about the emerging hybrid, the XHC ’08 at the Roosevelt in February?

Stay tuned…
