2nd Webmaster Meeting East (Brno, Czech Rep)

[jscott]

Anyone going to this event?
http://www.webmaster-meeting-east.com/ and gfy thread here

I would REALLY love to make it there, I've been looking for the cheapest flight but I can't find anything less than $1100 to/from Southeast Asia

Anyone going? Anyone know of some cheap budget airlines to Prague and Vienna from Bangkok? Manila? Hong Kong, etc?

"just a little get together with food, drinks and sexy Czech girls." sounds INTERESTING

Too bad i can't make it

I've been checking flights, so far really shit availability to/from here/there

Sad, I probably won't make it, but really would love to. I'm dying for another European trip!


edit: riemens congrats on the newborn

Would love to go but not a prayer of getting there. Far too much to do here at the moment - and sadly not making enough money to cover the costs (yet)

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)

Eddi, I agree about shows, but this seems more like a smaller gathering, at a bar, no show floors, no suites to deal with, etc, this is for the social grouping of webmasters getting together having drinks, food etc.

Seems like it'll be totally different than some stupid webmaster convention (that we hate)
