You're being rather sexist. You assume that the women you spoke to are hired booth workers, but my experience (having worked the booths, myself has been that the attractive, professionally dressed woman is actually the technically competent person is sales and marketing for the company. Times have changed, women can have real jobs, too!
BTW, IT folks don't work the booths. Booths and shows are for establishing contact with potential businesses. They're where the meeting and greeting, and the wheeling and dealing of business takes place. The people the booths want are the C-levels and the VPs who can bring in contracts; not Joe User who is wasting their time asking whether or not this widget is backwards compatible with their DB9 system from 1983.
