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)

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.

4) new deals (higher payouts, special tours etc etc) is many times easier to work out in person
5) new business / ideas
6) as already mentioned networking, a lot of people attend that normally not post on GFY
It's a good way to get more personal with people you already do business with as well, that bring new business opportunities.
If you find it satisfying and you reached your goal earning a middle to upper class salary, working from home, then you probably have no reason to attend, if you wanna take it to the next level you would likely need to meet with people
That's my personal experience, may not be the same for everybody
