I was just hoping to get an honest answer on some of the marketing improvements shes been working on since she started.
Please dont tell me its just stuff like sponsoring the hotel room's toilet paper or the bar napkins.
Lets hear more about chances to be more involved with networking and more business related ventures.

Sure... darling. In answer to a few of the larger demands...
We're arranging at least one (possibly more) networking lunch with topics by table.
24 tables. Probably on a first-come-first served basis. (which is why this may carry on for more than one day)
We're mailing the badges after people pre-register, to avoid congestion at the hotel.
Sponsors no longer HAVE to exhibit in order to throw events - there are many more options in that area now.
There are hard-walled meeting rooms on show floor, so people can have their own place to meet without having to get a booth or hospitality suite... but that's also an option of course.
We've closed the show to the public, thus removing people from the show who were simply hanging around. This means, whoever you meet is a potential business partner or client.
There are more educational sessions in the seminar program, as requested.
I want to clarify that I do not run Internext. The Trade Show department runs Internext. I simply yell at the trade show department from time to time and hope to create change...
