You generated alot of "sales" because of? Was is the seminars? or the Software?

At least you can "write it off". This is exactly why webmasters don't care about "free passes" (yaaaaa) at least in my opinon. You mean........ I get to win a TOTALLY FREE FUCKING PASS? That's AWESOME! Will you show me how your new program scrubs even better?
You're so angry

Our software doesn't "scrub" anything. IPSP and Gateways scrub.

The sales were generated by meeting and spending time with people at our booth and the demonstrations of our software. Putting a face to a name and meeting a person goes a long way with a lot of people.

The people who met us at the show and got to know us and our software benefited from being at the show that way.

Writing something off will save you whatever your tax bracket is off the cost. Let's say that adds up to 40% or so with federal and state taxes assuming you're in the top federal bracket. Winning them here would save you 100% so sure, it has a benefit. It's fun and it's free. Again, I don't get why you're so angry about everything.

If you're spending the $3000 you made last month at your day job to go to the show to get free drinks and pretend you're a webmaster then you're right, it's not a good idea. But at that point you shouldn't even be in the business to begin with.

If you want to seriously be in the industry, learn, and grow within the industry you should definately be at Vegas Internext as it's the largest industry show.

If you don't want to go to the show don't go. Your anger and screaming about how it's stupid and an absolute waste makes me think you're just a part timer in this industry, that you don't take it seriously, and that you'll never become very successful in it. I could of course be 100% wrong tho
