Did anyone go to the redneck getaway?

I'll admit I've established more productive relationships at small shows than I ever have at Internext. Similar reasons I guess. Everyone is spread out, and with the show floors becoming irrelevant, it's harder to find people you WANT to talk to. And even if you do hook up with people you want to see, there are so many people competing for attention that you typically get a very short conversation at best unless you've already got a business relationship.

I'm also thinking venues and sponsorship are easier for small shows.
