Why should an affiliate go to shows? Let's pick the average full time webmaster, has a bunch of sites, submits galleries, trades traffic, etc, has been doing this 2-4 years, makes a respectable middle to upper class salary working out of home. Isn't this who everyone wants at their shows?

Why should they go? What's in it for them, other for them to get spammed at by reps (as if there isn't enough of that on GFY)
1) Might learn something at seminars, 2) networking in person builds contacts and relationships, 3) it's fun.... parties.

There are additional reasons... but I've been in the industry since 1997 and I always attend a bunch of shows every year. It's often worth the expense.
