from a non-program webmaster, there is very little at the shows for us other than to meet affiliate reps. however, there are a lot more people in the industry that just webmasters... content providers, shooters, marketing people (like myself), etc. which talking to these other companies does bring in business.
i would say that if i was coming to the show as just an affiliate site owner or tgp webmaster it would almost be pointless other than to put a face with a name or possibly get an extra $5 PPS.
but the parties are a blast
