The dealers' room is a major profit center for conventions which have them; at ICON this year (I was a volunteer), dealers were charged $15, not for any extra space, but for any additional folding tables. Some dealers did pay up, so you can imagine what it must have cost to gain actual entry... (One of the old ICONers told me that when the university kicked ICON out one year, it lost so many tens of thousands of dollars in revenue, they immediately asked ICON back.)
Perhaps the Summit should have a dealer's room with representatives from longevity supplement makers and wearable computing device companies, recruiters from AI-focused startups, etc.
