Are Trade Shows a thing of the past?

The shows face a real weird problem:

If there aren't a whole ass load of parties, nobody seems to want to show up. If they have the parties, people show up, party all night, are useless all day, and the only time you meet anyone is when they are too drunk and the music is too loud.

No ROI on that one.

True if you target the guys looking to party.

I think there is a grossly underserved market of business people, especially small business operators, contained within the adult industry. The same guys the bro's and ballers have always made fun of ironically.

Either way, the shows have to get "right sized". Shows drawing 3000 or more people are done. Shows drawing 300 might very well be done.
