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.

Very well said Steve. The biggest internext parties are the ones I hardly remember too. I'd much rather be at a VIP party or smaller crowd with people I know and work with.
