I've found after a few tries, that the best way to attend a Knowledge
Industry Productions trade show is to skip the *expensive* seminars, go to
the *free* general sessions, and spend a lot of time on the exhibit floor,
watching demos, asking questions, and generally absorbing what is going on
with new technology.

The last show I went to (Image World LA) was pretty much an ego showcase
for Quicktime developers and their herky-jerky little films.  When I asked
about DOS platform applications, I was given the brush-off, as if anyone
who didn't have a multi-giga-byte Mac system with Spigots, and every other
bell and whistle, wasn't worth their time.

I would have hated to spend $600+ of my money to go to the seminar series
and get that treatment.  You can generally get a free exhibit hall pass by
sending in the coupon in AV-Video or one of the other trade magazines, but
even if you pay the $25-35 for this pass, you come away with gobs of
literature, demo disks, and a good amount of decision making knowledge.

My 2 cents worth.
