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!
