Speaking of unmanned booths one SUPER annoying thing was this guy who kept Bluetooth spamming everyone telling them to come to his booth at Ad:Tech next week in San Fran. I was told by staffers that Brett Tabke was aware of this and it was going to be stopped. At 4:30 on Weds it was still going on.

I been to a couple of conferences that have bluetooth broadcasts these days. Why would a person accept a connection from an unknown source? Do some devices automatically accept incoming connections? How is that possible? Do these same people also accept unknown WiFi connections? Why would people have their devices set to accept unknown connections? Why would it be someone elses responsibility than their own?

Hehehe. Brett, don’t be so smug! Here is the way you deal with this kind of thing and end up having people like you for it:

“Dude I’m so sorry about that. That asshole has been banned from PubCon indefinitely. Your privacy is important to me and I will not put up with exhibitors spamming my paid attendees.”

Easy right?
