i think the main problem with any tradeshow seminars in any industry is the people that are on the panels are direct competitors with those sitting in the audience.
if you were on a panel would you give up the really juicy ways and ideas that you have as a panelist to your competition? i sure as fuck wouldn't be giving up the hardcore, juicy, collect some bank information to my competitiors.
thats one reason i want more educational stuff at shows and less dog and pony seminars. like i said, no offense to people who sit on panels, but you are competition, and as much as everyone likes to think that everyone is friends, we all know the truth, you work with who makes you money. thats just the reality.
i will form my own opinions on what the state of the industry is, give me a day long, intensive MPA class or even CCBILL, Paycom core education anyday. i bet that lots of people using paycom and ccbill are not fully utilizing the capabilities and features of the two. i know i wasn't for a long time.
