As most of you have probably heard by now, XBiz has decided to start yet another adult webmaster convention called the XBiz Summer Forum, July 12-14, in Las Vegas.

I'm pretty sure that Alex Helmy has an agenda and it's not only to provide another convention, but to undermine the other two summer shows, Cybernet in San Diego in June and Internext Florida in August. Sure some sponsors send reps to every major show and will hit all three, but for the average webmaster, it is necessary to pick and choose the shows they'll attend.

Personally, I like to go to three or four shows a year. In the last year I attended Cybernet in June, Internext Florida in August, The Island Gathering, Curacao in October and the Phoenix Forum a few weeks ago. I currently have plans to attend Cybernet in June where I will be one of the panelists at the Newbie Seminar and I will be at Internext Florida in August. I will not be shoe horning the XBiz show in the middle.
