Woah, relax man.. I have no idea how much it costs to put on an expo but I'm willing to bet that you have no clue either, so maybe you should ease up a little.

I know of at least one expo organizer who had to put up his house as collateral just to guarantee the rooms to a Hotel a few years ago. Talk about dedication...

And so what if the shows want to make money? GOOD! Why do any kind of business if its not to make money?

I have been to at least 15 shows and never for a second did I think that ANY show was CHEAP, or that my comfort and business deal potential wasn't paramount to the organizers. This is especially true of Internext, Qwebec Expo, Cybernet, and even Webmaster Access back in the day. Like I said in another thread, find the organizer(s) of the next show you attend. Follow them around for 30 seconds and tell me that they're not a walking stress case due to all the work, lack of sleep, and tons of worry they take on to their shoulders, just so YOU can have a place to do business.
