It would be easy, but I don't think something that is easy for us necessarily translates into being a positive for our exhibitors who wish to provide drinks to attendees.
The age limitation is retarded for the conference alone. The parties at night have bouncers and rightfully so. If advertisers can't wait until the damn parties at night to give beer to people, that's pretty sad. Banning all affiliates under 21 from going to the summit just because one or two vendors has free beer at noon is ridiculous. Pay an extra person or something to stand at the booth and check ID's of people wanting beer that look under 25. It'll be worth it for the number of tickets you'll sell to guys under 21.
Yeah, one of them.
Yeah, one of them.
Well, then, let's see...
Let's say there are 100 16-year-olds that want to buy a full pass. 21-16=5. 5 * 100 * 995 = $497,500 that's not reaped because you want to hold 5-10 advertisers' attention.
Naturally, I don't know how much you charge for an advertiser, but I can't imagine it's more than $10,000. You do the math.
Let's say 100x 19-20 year olds. It's more realistic and less like a fieldtrip.
But I mean really? Crap. Put an X on the hand of people under 21 if that's what it takes.
Admitted, 19-20 makes more sense, but there ARE those 16 year olds (hint hint...) for whom there are 5 years of unreaped revenue.
Well put.
It's ludicrous that the only reason the conference is 21+ is because vendors serve alcohol. Either ban vendors from serving alcohol at their booths, or require them to check ID if they decide to. The vendors serving alcohol should be responsible for themselves. It's disappointing that Shawn and the Affiliate Summit decided to raise the age limit last year rather than require these select few to take an extra step; and that's only if they choose to serve alchol.
Apparently the industry doesn't have any respect for those of us who are under 21. We're not worth catering to.
That idea is too practical. We need irrational ideas, like banning everyone under 21.
Cause they can take the badge off?
LOL what happened to the good old wristband? check ids at the front door, give a wrist band for those over >21
Or have an ASE for Kids so SSSEO and Conceptual Mind can hang out with uberaffiliate and that 14 year old super affiliate.
But I agree, <21 is weak.
Oh you're right, my bad.
Who the F is drinking beer at noon anyways. Disgusting.
I no longer respect those under 21 who died fighting for our country. NOPE! not old enough.
Sorry guys!
Sorry guys!
