I'll grant that for the sake of argument, but does that kind of publicity do any good for the event or the people presenting their products there?

The companies know sex sells. The photographers from the media know sex sells. The media publishing the photographer know sex sells.

Science knows that sex sells. http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2008-04/sex-sells-what...

So yes, my guess is the booth babes help raise product awareness, product exposure, and desire for the product.
