i think you are wrong here. everyone starts small and attending a show can give also small guys a push and help them to understand the business better. plus learning from others, meeting program owners etc bla bla - you know it.
i think the barrier to attend a show should be much lower. and i don't just mean moneywise, but also considering the attitude of many participants. i read from many small webmasters here over the years that they are more or less afraid to go to shows and i'd blame champagne pics, coke adventures and flying chairs (just a few samples).
that serious business can be done - also for small guys - is very often overshadowed by all the debauchery threads after a show.
