The people financing these shows (service providers) have no interest in dealing with Joe Schmo whom is still learning the basics. They want to meet the people that can actually drive significant amounts of sales.
So if you start catering to newbies, you lose the people who are paying big money to attend. The show organizers business model would fall appart.
Now, having said that, let’s also acknowledge that times have changed. The lion’s share of traffic has been consolidated between a few dozen companies and the odd one-man-army.
Its hard for businesses to justify buying big packages while show organizers are dealing with shrinking profit margins.
Do I have the answer to their problems? No. But I definitely know that encouraging the growth of everybody’s business is the way forward, even if that means paying for tickets that used to be free

Exactly. Who the hell would complain about this price? It's a bargain, and its one of the best shows too.

Then what the fuck are you bitching about? Buy your tickets and attend the show already. Trade shows like this aren’t just events—they’re investments in your company’s future. Even though you may own your business, you’re also an employee of it, and it’s your responsibility to do everything possible to ensure its growth and success. That means meeting as many people as possible, exploring opportunities, and staying ahead of industry trends.
The $350 ticket price is a small cost compared to the doors this event could open for you. Think about it: everyone you meet there will be serious about their craft, whether they’re content creators, affiliates, hosting providers, or other professionals. If they’re paying to attend, they either take their work seriously, can afford it, or both. These are exactly the types of people you want to connect with—high-value contacts who can help you expand your business. Unless of course, you don't give a shit anymore.
Complaining about not being invited for free doesn’t just miss the point—it reflects poorly on your commitment to your own success. If you’re serious about growing your company, skipping this opportunity over a modest ticket price isn’t just shortsighted; it’s a disservice to your business.
