People running businesses generally have little free time. This is especially true when it comes to attending business conferences. While they need to keep updated on what is occurring in their industry, leaving to attend a conference takes time out of their busy schedule.

They book the best speakers, exhibits and industry leaders. They also try to host their conferences in convenient locations for the majority of people attending.
