It does indeed, you don't have to tell me,.. It's how it contributes to our large revenue each year :-) (I think we may even own a stake in Olympia, as we do the other large venue in London Excel and others around world)
Olympia costs a bomb as it provides outstanding facilities etc which demand it but the shows it hosts are designed to make money - none of the ColdFusion shows would or could guarantee a decent level of ROI for the organiser or host to justify it. I dont however think any show other than MAX (and that is not exactly large) could command such a large venue though.

I know as I am looking into venues for cfdevcon 2007, I got some pricing on olympia and it costs a bomb. -----Original Message----- From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 November 2006 21:43 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFUnited 2007 Pricing Not sure I get this argument.. Isn't this like saying Coca Cola should be $100 a can as lots of people drink it...or that ColdFusion should be $50K as it seems more people are using it..; Surely simple economics dictate the price should come down if more people are likely to come etc..

I don't want to pay for next year's conference during this year's calendar year. rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:260830 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
