Set up meetings and try and deal when you are there – but dont become the conference whore that must be at every ‘must attend’ event.
IMHO – unless you plan and can turn out a deal that is going to more than cover the cost of the flight and travel out there, then weigh up what your objectives are and if its worth your time. I think Bob rains did an article on it that is worth reading.
(Or if you have pull with the programs you work with, get them to pick up the cost)
