Oh, I dunno-

The old fashioned floor concept might not be best.
But I don't think that's the drawback. I think the major problem is the insanity in pricing for a booth.

It's great for IBM, but not a website guy trying to market his starlet.
You wanna fill the show floor?
Make the booth rate reasonable, or make smaller booths, or something along those lines.

Problem in this business, is, it's not run as a business. It's a dick slapping contest. (No pun intended)
They come in, blow their wad to have a big flashy stand, splash some cash around trying to look successful, and 6 months later? No one has heard from them.

Doesn't matter if you're selling chips, or tits, business is business. One's just better to look at.
(The tits, that is....)
