With more than 285 professionals, it is a small event, so vendors seeking large enterprise buyer pools or specialists wanting deep technical content will find a national show a better fit.

Attendees at regional tech conferences usually wear business casual, with some wearing jeans and a collared shirt or blazer. The cocktail hour at the Levee Bourbon Lounge fit the same dress, and August in Kentucky is hot and humid.
