Vendors spamming NANOG attendees

Industry-related SPAM, probably. 
Targeted marketing (looking for someone at Facebook, seeing someone from Facebook and tracking them down... or seeing someone at someone in a specific area or...) ehh, probably not

I don't think there's a mechanism to do that. (Please correct me

list and make it publicly available so that folks can consult it 
before making purchase decisions.
