It's good to hear that I'm not the only one that got a weird vibe when I told people that I'm just a webmaster. I fall into the comfortable range where I'm not a "bro" but I make a decent living.
I'll just confirm that the ROI is too low. The money isn't an issue its really about the time invested and what I get out of it. I can think of two panels that were helpful out of my show experience. The rest of the time was spent eating and drinking. Frankly it's more valuable as a tax write off than an actual investment in improving my business since people are accessible in so may ways online.
Yes it's very clickish but I have yet to have someone tell me to fuck off when I walk up and introduce myself. If I don't meet new people that's on me but I admit to getting swarmed with reps who don't know a damn thing about the biz. They are like networking land mines. You don't know they are one till you shake their hand and get a half-assed pitch and a request for a follow up.
