Geof – I would seriously look at trying to extend the stay even for an additional 24 hrs and I am not saying this simply because I am running the event :tongue: I know of only one affiliate that is cutting his week short and that is because of family commitments and is still on the day after the poker con (Thursday) because the ASOP final table is that day.
Basically I know it is hard to convince the powers that be that SpringBreak is a “work” event but remember your clients (the reason you are going out there) don’t work for big companies that send people out for half the week so it makes no sense for you to do this too.
In Miami in 06 I really had my doubts it was worth attending at all but I can not explain how good that trip was for our business – I had attended CAC multiple times and probably met more people at those than I did in Miami but what SpringBreak did was create genuine relationships with operators and affiliates that are at a much higher trust level which I think is the most important thing in our business.
Like all events on the surface we all post pictures and stories that sound like we all do no work at these events but we all know all that stuff fits around back to back meetings, conference sessions, seminars and whatever else we can find to make us more money!!! :hattip:
Either way – See you in Cyprus – Its 30 degrees today!!!!!!
