Good question. In years past, they had good deals on things like bulk plastics. Now, with the internet, those deals are scarce.
Although, Grizzly jig usually has a room (not just a booth), and has good deals.
If your going for the seminars, then yes, it's worth it. Look at the website and check who's speaking when. Last year I listened to Brandon Palaniuk (sp?) Speak. He was very informative, entertaining, engaging.
This year I'm going, with the intent of scoping out the layouts of boats. To get ideas on my project boat.

May not brave I70 4 hours.
