Unfortunately it's not worth it. The only reason I paid for badges this year was to be able to get past security to some of the parties. The "show floor" is only 2 HALF days and there's not much there.
A far cry from the old IA 2000 days at the Sands Expo Center with the huge booths and displays and thousands of people on the floor doing business for sure.
But yeah, the badge is only good to get you past the hotel security for a couple of parties. Not much else of value for me. I suppose it would be of some value for a newbie wanting to attend one of the seminars. But in this economy and with the piracy issue all but putting the affiliate model on life support...I don't foresee hundreds of eager new "webmasters" trying to break into the business. lol
Bottom line...get a badge if you're like me and can make a couple of deals at one of the parties. If you think you can get just as much work done at the center bar then don't bother. Keep in mind that the center bar is pretty damn expensive to drink at though. And you'll spend way more than the $150 the badge costs after just a few shots and a few beers at that bar.
