Seriously, though. I used to attend broadcasting trade shows all the time and I never paid for admission. It was always taken care of by folks like Sony or Ikegami that wanted me to see their latest and greatest. It also worked very well. The last show that I went to, I saw Sony's latest Betacam, and I bought it. It prolly cost them a few bucks for the admission, but the camera cost 62K. I made a ton of money out of that camera and it was a great choice after seeing it and playing with it at the show.
That, to me, should be the end result and purpose of a trade show. We all have to make some money out of our attendance.

You are talking consumer shows... BIG difference when everyone who attends is the end user vs. everyone attending having something to sell.
