"I was in Phoenix last month, and people were talking to me about the show," Qwebec Expo CEO Michael P told XBIZ. "In the first year, we had to go to people to talk to them. Now they're coming to us."
Scheduled workshops and seminars include a "New-bee" workshop for novice webmasters, a legal seminar focusing on U.S. and Canadian regulations, and discussions on content production and management, movie rental and VOD sites, webcam and dating sites and marketing and traffic.
Quebec Expo also offers networking opportunities and a show floor where industry technologies, products and services are marketed and displayed.
"It's an intimate gathering," Michael P said. "And there are some European webmasters who don't want to go to the U.S. with visa hassles. Europeans love Montreal because we're very European — we speak French and English — so if you want to meet European webmasters without flying to Europe, come to Montreal and you can meet these guys."
