January Internext Moves to Mandalay Bay

In response to exhibitor requests and scheduling conflicts, the 2005 Winter Internext Convention, scheduled for January 4 through 6, is moving down the Vegas Strip to the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino Convention Center.

According to Renee Johnson, Internext Trade Show Manager, “It’s time for a change.”

“Show participants were looking forward to a new venue,” Johnson said. “The Mandalay Bay is such a hip, happening place, it seemed like the most logical choice for our show. Internext and Mandalay Bay are a perfect fit. We’re very excited.”

“Had we stayed at the Sands in 2005,” added Johnson, “we would have had to start the show on January 3, and our larger exhibitors would have been forced to set up on January 1 and 2. It simply wouldn’t have worked.”

The new home of Internext offers nearly one million square-feet of exhibit space on two levels, as well as three levels of multi-purpose meeting and function space. The Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino features an impressive list of amenities that includes a tropical lagoon, 30,000-foot spa and a House of Blues location.

“With changes to the show including an expanded show floor, new networking events, show floor traffic-building events, an applied technology showcase, a state of the industry keynote speaker, an expanded seminar series and separate application workshops, the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino is the perfect fit for our new January event,” stated Chad Beecher, VP of Marketing & Operations for Internext.

Internext has secured rooms at both Mandalay Bay and THEhotel at Mandalay Bay, an all-suite tower rising 43 stories above the Las Vegas strip. Rooms are limited, and a special group rate has been secured, so show participants are encouraged to call Rose Tours and Travel at (888) 491-7673.

Internext is the world's largest Adult Internet convention. Acclaimed as "The Industry Networking Event," Internext is now that and much more. Internext is the place for business professionals who operate Websites to form business-to-business alliances with other online providers, learn about the industry trends and technology, meet with new prospects and network with fellow industry professionals. In addition to being in Las Vegas – the entertainment capital of the world – Internext is also held in Hollywood, FL, making the atmosphere of Internext unique in that it provides an unparalleled forum for non-stop networking and e-commerce both on the convention floor and after hours at parties.
