January's Internext was the first show I had ever been too. The convention floor wasn't bad I met a lot of people, however the parties were just too much. There was a lot of drugs going on all over the place it seemed and me personally don't care for drugs. The following evening I met some people on the show floor and some of us all went out to dinner.
That dinner proved more beneficial for me than anything else I did at that show. I was introduced to about 10 people during dinner that turned out to be great business contacts.
It's a shame some people don't act professional when at an industry / professional function. Some people forget, there is time for business and there is time for pleasure. And to use one more cliche, "Perception is Reality", when people act like that it gives you an impression of their professionalism.
You could be the best business man in the world, but if I saw you drinking urine during a public funtion I would never do business with you.
