Early stage startups should not exhibit at conferences because this one startup got nothing out of this one conference? I think more likely one or more of the following: -They chose the wrong conference -Their product sucks -Their pitch sucked Conferences are great for networking, raising awareness, getting customers, catching the eye of investors etc. All the reasons they went. Sorry it didn't work out but that doesn't mean it wont work out for others if they choose the correct conference, have a good pitch and have a good product.
