Also, for the record, DevCon 2001 was a first class event. Macromedia shelled out a very nice conference (including a theme park rented out specifically for conference attendees), live music, etc, let alone a top notch conference. I think the price is quite reasonable considering what attendees receive. --Paul Paul W.

Macromedia is a for-profit entity, in theory. They have to be able to support the cost of the conference, at a bare minimum. I'm sure they'd like it to actually be profitable.
