If you go to LSFest, that is the premier racing event for LS motors out there. It is larger, and the people there are pretty serious racers. You see the larger manufacturers/vendors there for the face time, and the people at this event do buy stuff. Even if you sell nothing, you will be in front of thousands, and get coverage in every LS Magazine/Forum.

Camaro5Fest you get a few hundred people, and some are serious, but largely most conversations go like...

"Will you stamp my ticket so I win this raffle?"
"Where are all the different color catch cans?"
"Can you install my CAI in the parking lot?"
"Do you have stickers?"

LSFest = World Series
CamaroFest = *Pick your Baseball Teams* Winter Fan Fest

Valid points, but let me state this:

I've spent tens of thousand of dollars with many of the vendors on this forum. I personally would like to meet them and have that face time. None of the vendors I spent money with were there, really disappointed me ( my local vendors are the exception as I do see them personally). I get the business end of that, I too own my own business. Sometimes, meeting your customers at these events drive up sales later. Since the fest, I've started buying from different vendors as I felt many vendors I did buy from didn't see value with going and pressing the flesh. It's not always about sales at the fest. I'm old school and meeting the people you deal with makes it a more personal relationship, and that also drives sales....

Chevy was there pressing the flesh, how many 6th gens did they sell on that day. None , but I bet it helped gen interest for future sales...

Installation does not generate enough revenue. Most are pretty simple to install... Guess they are the red headed step child... ;o)

"Pressing the Flesh?"

Let me put it to you this way. Every fest we went to (and any out of state show really), we lose thousands of dollars on. Now of course that is not a "loss" if you have people for weeks calling saying "I saw you at the show" and making purchases. Sadly that is not the case. Rather the same "Can You price match Amazon, or ABC motorsports calls" as any other time.
