I attended a couple of Affiliate Summits (mainstream). Lots of affiliates go (along with vendors, programs, etc). Cost is $199-ish for the convention floor ticket plus flight and hotel, so it does have similar expenses as the adult shows, but the mainstream side brings out the affiliates, whereas with adult, they stay away.

Fight the affiliate hide & seek game!

Have you noticed the size difference though? AdTech in NYC is typically 3 floors of exhibitors and about 15000 attendees (rough number from 2 years ago). The sheer size/volume of that is bound to offer a really good return on investment. Adult simply can't compare to mainstream as the number of webmasters and attendees isn't comparable anymore.
