I agree, I'm not sure about exhibitors returns, but I imagine I could get the same kind of ROI from Phoenix Forum or other shows just from the bar scene. I typically do most of my business in a relaxed environment rather than the exhibits. The exhibits, to me, is just a convienent way to see the product/service right away. If I'm actually interested in a product or service, I'll look at them when I get home from the show.
