While I contract people (photo/video shooters, production assistants, make-up artists, etc) on a per project basis, I'm basically a one-person show, shooting my own exclusive content for my own sites that I operate by myself (I'm going on my ninth year in the adult biz).
Even though I am not a Sponsor or Affiliate, I still go to a handful of shows a year. I have pretty clear cut goals ahead of time, therefore I get what I want out of the shows I choose to go to - be it cutting deals, lining up talent for future projects, or whatever else.
I also attend because I do work fairly independently, and it's nice to meet and hear what others are doing. Plus, I do enjoy putting faces to the personalities I meet on the Boards (I spend 98% of my Board time on GFY).
One other big reason I go (and I know not everyone here pays taxes, hehe), but for me it's a nice tax write-off for a mini-vacation.
