T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Co-Founders Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu Will Turn Responsibility
for Five of Six 2010 Conferences Over to Rick Latona
T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Co-Founders Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu send
out frequent conference updates to those on the show's
mailing list. In a low key announcement near the end of
an
update letter about the
upcoming T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
New York conference that was sent out
yesterday, Schwartz wrote, "This will be the last time that Howard and I do a show outside of
the annual Florida show (which we will be
announcing in New York). In January we will be handing off
5 of the 6 shows to Rick
Latona and his team. They have new ideas, with
the same common vision that Howard and I have had. It will
bring T.R.A.F.F.I.C. to every continent and all corners of
the world in the coming years.
Back
in June, Schwartz, Neu and Latona announced
a new conference partnership that included
plans to expand the annual show line up from three events
to six. Three of those were
Rick
Schwartz and Howard Neu
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Co-Founders
slated
for North America with the other three to be held
overseas. At the time, it looked like
Latona, who is an experienced world traveler,
would run the international shows while Schwartz
and Neu guided the U.S. events. However, the
co-founders have apparently decided to
personally oversee
just a single annual show in their home state of Florida.
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. will still be a three-way
partnership but Latona and his team will be in
charge of staging almost all of the events
starting next year.
In another letter
sent out today about the October 26-29 show
in New York City, Schwartz and Neu announced that Skenzo's
Official Show Party will be held at Touch,
a club that Zagat rated as the #1 night
club in New York. The letter said, "Trust Skenzo to take it to the next level, with private super-stretch limousines waiting to escort you to the party venue. Once your vibes are set, experience the thrills of high stakes casino
games - poker, craps, blackjack, roulette, slots and more! But that's not all, this time the stakes get higher and there are lots more of the latest gizmos and gadgets waiting to be won."
Skenzo hosted a similar
casino night party at T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Silicon Valley in April. Those who accumulated
the most chips were able to turn them in for a variety of
attractive prizes.
