I'd also add that the perception shows give off on a lot of the boards may also play a part in people not wanting to go. Most of the talk you here about shows is about which parties to go to, who got some cool pics, and what bros bought you dinner/beer. I don't think I've seen a single post or thread about something in business nature coming out of these shows. I haven't seen people talk about something informative they learned at a seminar, or some new product you just had to see. I think if the shows gave off a more professional feel, it may attract more webmasters. For right now, it sometimes comes across as a giant bro circle jerk on which bro bought the next the most beers.
There are a lot of webmasters like me that just don't really need to get into that.
