If you ask me it was pretty weak of ibill to "hire" a few big guns to mount a public relations drive for them.
The fact that they can not speak for themselfs speaks volumes.
While i do not discount the pony show they may have shown a few industry leaders.. I truly doubt they are interested in doing buisness with the small to medium size webmasters... let alone, make sure they are paid.
I would have been much more impressed if they had invited a cross-section of the industry. Better yet... they should have used that money to pay the people that have gone unpaid rather then pull off a two day pony show for the most vocal.
Just my
