Just totally curious. This holds no research value. Move along.
A couple things for me:
1) I want to meet the owner(s). I'm very selective and I want to know the person and a face to face meeting usually makes me feel more comfortable. If the owners don't regularly go to shows then a recommendation from a company I presently work with will do.

2) Payout must be high and inline to what other sponsors pay. Willing to accept a small paycut if they convert great.

3) Points and rewards are nice but not a factor. Same for account rep.

4) Must allow me to host tours and link to join page. Not very flexible on this.

5) Must have a good reputation industry wide.
