I'm there mostly for the people and the parties, but I feel there's a lot of business value in that. I feel a lot better working with someone I can put a face to and have had a chance to talk in person versus over an extremely impersonal medium like ICQ
I know for a good friend of mine who was there, meeting the owners of a european-based payment processor he had signed up a few weeks ago face-to-face justified the cost of the trip alone
