Exposure is not cheap at Internext --- and come Monday morning most people don't remember which parties they went to, let alone who sponsored them.
Internext is a fun show, its great to see everyone in one place. But people need to be mindful of the sponsors and make a real effort to do some biz with them for their efforts. The sponsors of all tradeshow parties do it to support the industry and treat everyone to a good time.

yea thats all well and good steve.. still doesnt excuse them for LYING to me saying that there will only be 6 sponsors and turns out there are now 9 sponsors. THEY should have notified the current 6 sponsors letting us know that they fucked up and dont know how to budget thier money and that they are so so so sorry and would we mind there being 3 other shitty sponsors on the ticket to cover xbiz's ass.
