if the model only works with huge sponsors and you still have to pay to get in. Then the model is either broke or greed plays a role. The mainstream video show to walk the show floor is free, at comdex in atl the show floor was free. That's the point of sponsors.They "sponsor" the show. Now you want to go to the classes its very expensive.
I have a idea that would be productive for the people that would go but wouldnt make a dime it would be a wash actually.
