You can't convince a man about that which he is not incented to believe. This probably isn't the droid you were looking for. Regards,

As I'm down to attend, the guy rings asking about Pointgreen and if we want to exhibit/sponsor the show. I politely decline, but then ask would the show not benefit from say a 'Cloudstack' presentation, to which the response is 'they'll have to pay'. I'd explain this is Apache Open Source community offering, but the guy wont budge, rules are rules, even though the benefit to the audience could be significant. Question is, how do you educate folks, especially in the Enterprise market, if forums like this are closed due to cost?
