The 2012 European Summit (TES) has now begun in Prague and it has caused me to reflect back to last year’s European Summit in Prague. The European Summit is billed as Europe’s leading B2B conference for the online Internet industry. I started attending the European Summit back when it was The Barcelona Summit (TBS) and I have always been impressed with how much business and information was available.

Last year was my first time visiting Prague and I came away wishing I had been able to spend more time away from the hotel. Unfortunately, the only time I was able to get away was for the off-premise events such as the Cybersocket Party, the YNOT Grand Prix and the YNOT Awards. I realize that some of these events, the Grand Prix for example, have already happened, but the YNOT awards are tomorrow night. If you have not gotten tickets to attend, I recommend doing so, it was a definite highlight of the show.

These photos are from the Prague show in 2011 and include the Hotel Praha, the Silenzio, YNOT Grand Prix and YNOT Awards. You can find all the photos from last year by searching for Prague in the search box. (more…)

The adult B2B trade show, Webmaster Access Amsterdam will be beginning shortly at the Park Hotel, and yes, I am going to miss it. I have been going to Amsterdam every year since 2007 and have truly enjoyed every experience. As it happens, I have things to do here at home so I will have to settle for looking through my photos of shows past and enjoy the memories.

The Webmaster Access schedule looks like it will be a good show with a great mix of education, networking and parties. One of the highlights of the show has to be the 2012 GFY Awards at the Little Buddha Bar on Saturday night. It was a total blast last year. I was nominated for the GFY Hall of Fame, but I have my doubts that is going to happen. If it does, I will have to hope someone retrieves the award for me.

These photos are a few from the 2011 Webmaster Access. (more…)

The 2012 XBIZ EU, London began today, and I have to admit, of the three shows going on over the next week or so, the London show is the one I am going to miss the most. That is right, for the first time since 2007 I am not coming to the European shows. As I watch all the status updates on Facebook I was drawn to looking at my photos from last year. When I looked at the XBIZ schedule of events I knew I had to recommend that those of you still in town on Wednesday take advantage of the trip to the London Eye. It is a lot of fun and a great view, if weather is permitting. It was great last year.

Here are a few photos of the sights around London, and many are within walking distance of the hotel. If you would like to see all the photos from the 2011 XBIZ EU, just click here. (more…)
