It’s pretty much one big party
that’s exactly right! and I resent paying for it twice a damn year.
If you wanted to get right down to it, though I’ve never been, I cannot think of one positive reason for going that would justify spending the money. (though I would like to meet some of the people from here in person)
If you can’t network using the same means we all use the other 359 days of the year, then you likely aren’t going to make any kind of better impression in person.
in fact, its quite likely just the opposite. There have been many times when I after spending extended time around someone, that I came to like them less, but seldom is it that I come to like someone better after extended period of exposure, if I didn’t like them to begin with.

ps
Not all the speakers will appeal to you but there are usually two opposite ones available to pick from.
@ $550; just how many speakers are going to be available?
for my money, I wouldn’t pay more than $25, maybe $50 at the very most; to hear anybody in this business talk. That means I’d need at least 10 people I would get on a plane and fly half way across the nation to hear.
I challenge you to name even 7.
the smartest minds and most successful people in this niche are IMHO right here!
