Webmaster Access East will part ways with its Canadian host city, holding its final Toronto-based show from May 16-19. The event—sponsored by SexSearch, PussyCash, AWEmpire, SilverCash, WEGCash, DatingGold, Platinum Bucks, and InterClimax—has plans to return next year in a new venue.
One of the highlights of the Toronto show is a webmaster hockey game on the Toronto Maple Leaf’s home rink, according to sponsors. "I personally am really looking forward to playing in the hockey game," said Eric Matis, vice president of marketing of ICS, a Playboy Entertainment Group company. "This is something new we are going to try. So many people from the area play and so we are going to put together a game on NHL ice—something many of us have only dreamed about doing for years."
Food and drinks also will be provided to everyone who comes to watch the event. Registration is required to attend all WAE events, and early bird registration is only $100. Webmaster Access badges and wristbands are required to enter all seminars, lunches, workshops, cocktail receptions, and parties. All the event rooms are almost sold out, Matis said, so it is advantageous to book a room now.

As for the official line on all the parties, Matis said, "Many of the parties for the rest of the week are still being planned. I have seen into those plans, and seeing that this is going to be the last Webmaster Access show in Toronto, they are planning to send everyone off with a bang. I think mostly they are trying to make people wish that they never left."
