Yes; to find new products by small companies I might never otherwise hear about, and to play some things I might otherwise never get to play.

Do I go to gaming conventions?
Not generally. I'm not really into paying lots of money in travel and registration costs to play games I can play at home. The exception to this is the occasional larp convention, since those you can't play at home very well
I have attended an occasional sci-fi convention, and played an occasional game there, but that's not the same thing.

I started going to gaming cons back in the early 80's at Wilmark Dynasty run by the folks who own Days of Knights flgs in Newark DE (NOT Newerk, it's New-ARK!)
Anyway, I got a job in online gaming that paid me to attend Origins, GenCon and others in the early 90's. That was fantastic!
Now, I'm too broke to go but I have hopes since both my wife and I are working and that is something I want to share with my family. GenCon's move is actually better for us since it is that much closer.
Cons are a blast, everyone should attend at least 113, just to be sure if you like them or not....

CONTEST 17 OPEN NOW:
To enter your chance to win your choice of TWO of the books on my list in post 1,please post to this thread with your answer to this question: What d20/OGL book(s) do you think deserve to be recognized with an ENnie award nomination for 2004, and why?
One entry per person please.
I will determine the winner by rolling % dice tomorrow AM. As in previous contests, if I roll a number higher than qualified posts, I will roll again.
Goodluck!
PS - For those who asked, the plan is to run at least 20 contests, as that would just about shoot my $100 budget for padded envelopes and shipping.
I'm sorry I was unable to run a contest earlier today, but as yesterday, I was working all day away from internet access. I'll be out tomorrow too, but will try to get another one posted before I leave.
And oh yeah- I never answered the last question! I have never been to a BIG con, and really, really, really, really want to go to Gen Con. I think I may have done a poor sales job on my wife in only getting 'conditional' approval to make the trip! I'm sure it would be well worth the expense though - most everyone I have talked to is glad to have gone.

I've really enjoyed Draconomicon for a couple reasons. They took the whole idea of dragons and made them even more dragon-ish. I love the art, the typesetting and tables were easy to read, but the it could have used a bit more editting before printing. Innovative content and new spins on old content (Metabreath spells for one) put this book as a must-buy for all dragon-lovers.
