Yeah, and I agree with Toby on this one, it depends on what you're looking for to get out of it.
Some of these guys are going literally just looking for free drinks and a good time....ANY business is a bonus. Cybernet is one of the few shows that isn't really like that.
The demographic for this show was very interesting. The majority of the people there were over 30. There were virtually none of the GFY beer money crowd there. Most of the people who were there were clearly there looking to network, learn something and do some business.
I think the format serves this well. There were free drinks to be had....if you played where's Waldo with the bar sponsors....and a couple of big parties. But this was mostly business. It was also relatively cheap and could've easily been attended for maybe $700-800. Doesn't take much to earn that back.
