At some point tho, they will have to start charging at least a nominal fee, in order to secure the event for those interested in doing business, especially if it keeps on growing. Otherwise you simply have too many lookie-lous running around and the event loses on quality.

This was a marvelous job they've done this year, my thanks to them and to all of the sponsors.
