Years ago I was in Berlin. Had a stand there. Small stand and it was around 10K. So I walk around and meet a huge USA Studio. Some nice talks and I asked what they paid for their huge stand..they said; "Nothing". We were asked to come here and got the stand for free and even our flight tickets and hotel were paid for by the organiser. When I asked; "Why?", they replied: "The organiser wanted an international status and they needed us to be here to achieve that".
That was not AVN, but I know how you feel Joel.
