Webmaster Access 2011 Review

Webmaster Access 2011 is an adult B2B trade show that was held at the Park Hotel in Amsterdam from September 16-19, 2011.

It was a great way to catch a quick view of London before taking off to the airport. Everyone had a great time on this expedition. I know it was the most entertaining tour I have taken.
