comparing everything to AdTech is a little wierd, check out their speaker list - http://www.ad-tech.com/speakers-chicago.asp?subevent=6

plus, if you just want to walk the exhibit floor at AdTech, it is FREE....the people that throw adtech know that they are cashing in on the floor space rental already, so they don't feel the need to milk the attendees also.
Jace, I had booths at internext for several shows, the reason I stopped doing them was because the floor traffic went down desperately. Internext has to make some changes/amends here I agree...

Yes it's free to get into the ad-tech show if you pre-register, if not it's $125 to get in. HOWEVER you would be very suprised how many people go to the seminars, it's really amazing! Our booth in NYC last year was right beside the seminar rooms and when they let out several hundred people would come flooding out... So obviously some of these companies see the justification of spending that kind of money to go listen to these people speak.
