This is why many professional players no longer go to shows. Or just go to the big Vegas show. I also feel the format of some of the shows are to blame. The LA show reaked of party, little biz from the start. Lens is known flor throwing parties for the kids of the biz. It was promoted that way IMHO. That is why did not send a person.
Unfortunately, I have learned that there are too many idiots in this biz, and things will not change. You are better off staying at home from most of these "conventions" and traveling to see clients on a more personal basis.

Thanks for the support Brad. I would like to say this though:
The LA Webmaster Access show was great. I got a lot of business done and the parties were nice...I particularly loved Gotham Hall.
I would not hesitate to go to another one of these shows.
