Thanks for the response, I appreciate it.

I thought I was giving a counterpoint to the statement "there were very few investors" and adding advice from my experience:

The important thing to note is that they won't come to you just because you're there. You have to attract them in some way (or better yet: contact them in advance and have meetings already set up).

My other comment similarly was a counterpoint to "the only winner was the organizers", giving my experience and why I think I had the experience I did.

I'm sorry that this came across as "no you're wrong" without any details. :-(
