Seriously, I liked the free badges, its harder to recoup your investment as the person throwing the show, but the sponsors pay that in the end.. if you want to make the big splash and have the booth or cabana then go for it..

I personally feel alot of shows do a shit job and forget the little man, we need affilaites, we know all the program owners and reps already.. We need to do new business, not business with the same 40 or 50 people we already do business with.. lol..

I'm all for bringing new blood to the shows..
