I'm not a part of Internext, won't be attending it either. But here's where things will get fucked up for the parties.
In the old days, a company promoting their party handed out passes to most of the webmasters that stop by their booth. Assuming it's all industry, you can give it to as many people as you can and hope to get 1000 to 2000 people to fill up your venue.
Now you're gonna see a ton of surfers mixed into the show floor. How do you know who to hand out passes to? You will offend lot's of smaller webmasters because now you have to screen each person and make sure they're all legit first. Extra time dealing with screening people, lot's of wasting time in my opinion.
Invite only parties will be the "in" thing and most of the industry won't be able to attend one legit webmaster party without having surfers to walk through.
Looking to throw a party? Food for thought.
