But my original message asked how others would benefit
from having me there.
That is exactly what I * said * that you said! And my point is, if you
have the attitude "What will others benefit from MY attendance," then
you're looking at it all wrong. You should go to VCF for * your own *
benefit. But the event certainly won't succeed or fail because of any
one attendee.
If somebody is oaying me to do something, I think
it's reasonable that they should get some benefit from it
Or you could've been gracious and said thank you to those nice people.
one continual moan was that people who were running
the event in many
cases couldn't attend the talks.
At most other VCFs, lectures and special events are in the morning,
while the exhibit hall is open in the afternoon -- specifically so that
exhibitors can experience the whole event. I don't know what the UK
guys are planning though. If they do what Sellam advises, then they'll
do it right.
Ah, I see, SO the reason to attend a VCF is for what
you can take, not
what you can offer.
No, but your attitude seems to be all about yourself.
I am darn sure I don't want to attend any event
like that.
So don't go. Everyone else will still have fun, trust me.
