I laughed and said "well not really the most exclusive is it?"
"Yes" he said "its the most exclusive event in Europe"
"What more exclusive than Davos?" I laughingly asked
"Oh yes much more exclusive" the sales guy said
Seriously I know that IT is important but an IT event in Europe more important than the World Economic Forum? Over selling doesn't make me want to go more.

You and I know what Davos is, but I wonder, did he?
He should have turned around the question:
"If you come, it will be certainly more important than Davos !".
With that you have no clue if he knows what he is talking about, and you got flattered.
Maybe you should have cited the well-known paradox attributed to Groucho Marx: "I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members."
Exclusive doesn't necessarily mean important or desirable. Exclusivity is defined in terms of who is NOT going to be there. Therefore if we don't go to these executive events they become EVEN MORE EXCLUSIVE.
