Mostly showcase. Most products arnt for sale. Local things like some of the shops small swap.
I remember last year beyond the reef had small average fish for sale. Coral beauties blennis clowns average fish for beginners cheap. Their table raffles were good.

I definitely enjoy going. This will be my third time going. You can for sure find some goodies there.

Also contests, some beautiful freshwater setups, opportunities to check out some of the aquariums made by locals and big companies like red sea, seminars if you pay more, some samples, fun way to spend 2-3 hours. http://www.chicagoreefs.com/forums/showthread.php/26897-Aquatic-Experience-Chicago-Nov-6-8-2015-in-Schaumburg?p=319856#post319856

Its usually pretty cool to see; however I find events like this to be heavily catered towards LE zoanthids and LPS. Since I have since moved away from all SPS and Zoas, there isn't the same excitement at these things anymore. Don't get me wrong there are still some nice sticks there, but IMO the number of available zoas, acans, blastos, etc far outweighs the number of primo sticks.

I plan on bringing a variety of colorful SPS frags to the show for the three days. Spartanman22, as an SPS enthusiast you know that SPS takes effort and dedication, especially transporting them to shows.

There's a good mix. I honestly think it is worth it just for all the free stuff, and to see new stuff coming out.
I will be there saturday.

IMO its definitely worth a visit, there will be some saltwater vendors, you will find nice frags. Last year I came back with some medium/high end chalices, zoas, and one favia frag if I remember correctly bought from Beyond the Reef. If Reefwise, Aquapros, Tank it Easy and Seven Seas Aquatic are there you will find something...

Are you talking just about raffle free stuff or do they have a lot of product sample giveaways

Both. Lots of free samples, some vendors give away full-size items for free.
