Itay affiliates are always free at all our events. To produce the events costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, the financial support of our partners, sponsors and vendors who pay for admission make all that possible.
Guys we would love to have events here IN the states if that were possible.
Financially it’s not.
In 2006 CAP Spring Break had over 600 attendees and we had no trouble whatsoever getting the programs to sponsor the parties and events. After the passage of UIEGA many of our top programs would NOT travel near the United States or make connecting flights in the States. Attendence dropped to around 200 in 2007 at the Atlantis Resort. CAP lost well over $100,000 as we were commited for those dinners and parties that werent picked up by Sponsors and the rooms that went unbooked.
GIGSE and CAC Montreal were even bigger disasters.
Without support large events and shows can’t be put on over here at the moment. I sincerely wish that wasn’t true as I loved Miami Beach as the “home” of CAP Spring Break. I also used to really look forward to going to Las Vegas for CAC. It’s one of my favorite cities in the US.
Lets all hope and work torward a time when legislation is repealed and we can get back to having a few events each year here in the States or Canada.
Believe me when it CAN be done CAP will be there in full force.
