I have to wonder if this a sign of economic times or what. But the promotional model I used to promote a Storyz competition at AdTech in Sydney was just kicked out! They said since we were not exhibiting we were not allowed to have people selling the company. Nicely done AdTech. What the hell is conference attendance and networking about anyway?? And they are supposed to represent marketing and advertising as an industry?
Granted their T&Cs says they reserve the right to LIMIT the number of participants from non-exhibitors who are deemed to be selling rather than buying, but that does not mean the limit is 0. Given that I called the sales director a week in advance to clarify I was bringing a promotional staff, the whole situation is nothing but a joke. I will make sure to warn any attendee that I meet that they’d better not be selling to me, or they just may get kicked out.
