Howard Pulling Out All the Stops for TRAFFIC Miami — Rick and

Everything’s lined up for TRAFFIC Miami. It seems that it will deliver.

I’ve been a vocal critic of some of the TRAFFIC shows in recent years. They seemed to have gone a bit stale and attendance had dwindled.

That will not be the case with TRAFFIC Miami, which starts Sunday evening at the South Beach Loews. Perhaps Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu had something to prove. It doesn’t hurt that this is the only event they’re planning for this year (Rick Latona did the rest), so they have the time to focus on this event.

But it doesn’t really matter why this is shaping up to be a good event. The truth is Rick and Howard have booked some great speakers. How will Don King be as a speaker? I have no idea, but I still want to see it. Myself and the 300+ expected attendees.

Here are other things that ought to make this show interesting:

-Congressman Cliff Stearns, who is a member of the Telecommunications and Internet Sub-committee. Nice to have someone to hear the domain investor’s side of the story.

-Fresh technology for networking

-Rob Monster’s successful swap event returns for an encore

If you’re going to TRAFFIC and want to start networking in advance, feel free to leave a comment.
