Some of the tips are for real! Especially the competitive intelligence one (but not the part implied about taking pics of powerpoints not otherwise provided.) I personally like to walk the exhibit hall floor, meet the competition, and grab their sales collateral etc. Also, I'd like to give a shout-out to the folks at Webtrends who also usually have a really cool cocktail party type gig at the end of the first expo-hall day, complete with awesome blue Webtrends martini glasses! And free schwag is a bonus for the officemates back home, for sure! See you guys in San Jose, (shamless plug alert) stop by and say hello to Adapt! Honestly? Some of the tips are for real!
