Attending conferences

Hi All,

Yesterday we attended the Wikimania conference. A few days before going we secured a commissioning with a regular client. However, we funded the trip ourselves and won't make any money from this.

What is the best way to approach conference attendance? Pitch before hand, pitch after? Can you ask a publisher to fund your expenses? This conference was just down the road to me, is it worth asking for funding for foreign conferences?

In general do you have tips, or a link to a relevant article?
