Were Cisco partner networking career fairs total disasters?

Cisco Partner Network Career Fair

It appears that at least some of this summers' Cisco partner network career fairs were total disasters.

Horror stories:

At one fair, candidate attendance was so bad (thus boredom for Cisco and its hiring partners), that Cisco itself rolled out the bar halfway thru the fair with 2 hours left until the fair was scheduled to close (yes of course, the drinking continued way beyond closing time too).
Yet at another fair, Cisco partners incurred thousands of dollars in Cisco networking career fair expenses without a single viable candidate interviewed.
One 4 hour fair had 25 Cisco partners in attendance seeking to hire, and only 24 candidates showed up, none of them qualified to be hired.
I could continue, but you get the picture.

Why would a Cisco network career fair be a total disaster?

What would you do to make a Cisco partner networking career fair successful?
