Dropped $600 on a booth at a Toronto startup expo and got zero leads

Burned a big chunk of my runway on a booth at a Toronto startup expo back in March, and every single person who stopped by just wanted free swag. The one real conversation I had was with a guy selling CRM software to me, not the other way around. Anyone else find these events worth it, or should I just put that money into cold email instead?
