I'd like to see the show move to a smaller hotel, without a casino, that's still upscale. That way you can rent out the entire place, and do a lot more business. The Palms' "casino" is a joke anyways, and anyone that wants to gamble can just play 2 less hands of BJ for a cab to a big casino. Something like the Artisan hotel would be perfect - it reminds me of a classier Roosevelt.
Try to put more value into the badge-required events...hire some big mainstream SEO guys to give keynotes or workshops, and have actual events during the day instead of just the show floor. As it stands now, there's really no point in buying a badge, or even attending the show for all the days; you could get all your business done in one day at the circle bar, with no badge or room fee.
