There's no point to making everyone spend the money on a booth.

I agree with Brad, swag is so 2001. I haven't seen anything clever or useful enough to actually make me make room for it in my suitcase in years. If I'm actually interested, give me a business card. You'll hear from me anytime from the next week til sometime 8 months later when I get around to doing whatever I had in mind with your stuff.

All you really need at a show these days is some sort of layout or even where you can get everyone in a common traffic area so they can find each other.

It's usually the bar.

That's why you see me give show promoters shit when the hotel bar only wants to open a few hours a day.
