You are probably right on both counts. It is just sad that if they have the end all solution to cyber security, I would beg, barrow, and steal to be able to demonstrate it in a setting where everyone that is anyone in the cyber security world is present.
Bruce did at least three-four presentations to investors over the years that I have followed VLDI; The Long Island Investor Group, the Microcap Conference and the Rodman & Renshaw Small cap Conference just to name a few.
Yes, these were to stimulate the share price, but if he can find the funds to do these, which were geared to investors and had little effect on stock price, he should of gone the extra mile and focused on an industry specific conference focused on products and users. I believe the money spent on building awareness of who VLDI is and what an exceptional product they have would have far greater value than investor conferences. Just think about it, if everyone is blow away with what ValidianProtect can do in an demonstration, everyone would be either signing up to use it or trying to buy the company with such a small capitalization.
