i would have time, i would have money and its close to my place (aprox 2 hours with car) nevertheless i wont go.
last year i was at the webmaster access amsterdam and the barcelona summit. and i figured out that visiting porn fairs is worthless, boring, pricy and a waste of time for program owners AND for Affiliates. 90% of all participants were cc clearing companies or mobile clearing companies (with normally no clue on how to bill adult) some dating companies, some cam companies, some herbal pills companies and 2 or 3 big programs who sponsor the event and already lost their touch with the base and are not talking to the ordinary porn workers (models, shooters, affiliates and small/middle size program owners)
i tried to get a personal meeting with Eric from gfy for several times, about skinning their board, which btw. is a 15k investment, hell, Playboys "bigshots" Derek and Shelly did not even pass my businesscard to him (those so called employees of playboy who arrogantly pretend to be owners of the adult business, but are nothing then small employees) did not even bother after asking several times.
And yes, there are also some big traffic players at those shows. Like Traffic Junkies (Manwin) and they do not even dare to leave their suites. The only other "down to earth" program owner i met at those shows was ViVThomas, even he was not able to talk to those guys for buying traffic.
To sum it up, there is no such thing like a real adult webmaster meeting, to talk about the daily work, to make some small business, to trade traffic to talk about ratios or to simply have a bit fun.......
Thats why i do not recommend to go to such shows (it was maybe helpful a couple of years ago, but not nowadays)
