I would argue the point. Many people never enter the con suite. For the one or two cans of soda most people take throughout a convention, on their way to what they actually want to do, it would be cheaper overall if people just went to the hotel gift shop.
Even the convention program is seen by perhaps 65% of the membership, and probably half of those people see three or fewer program items (not counting major events). Everybody experiences the convention differently; there are extremely few convention departments that can justify their budget on the basis of appealing to the entire convention membership.
I'm not arguing against a con suite; I realize that some people consider this an important part of the convention. I simply caution anyone not to assume that their way of thinking about a convention is the same as anyone else's.
