informative seminars based on different aspects of the industry would be a big plus, but that's not going to happen. All the deals that get made at these shows are between 2 or more big fishes and never any small to medium ones. So it's a complete waste of $ for us small to medium guys/gals.

I've never been to any shows and never will unless they actually become helpful for everyone that attends. Ya, partying is all fun, but that doesn't accomplish anything. People get drunk and make "deals" that they will never do so what the fuck is the point?

Of course, the way this business now is fuck the little guy. Not help him/her to be successful. But, if you're not in the "bro" club you're shit out of luck. Don't we help each other anymore? Then we wonder why so many people do no so legal things in order to make $.
