I would much rather pay $200-$300 to have good remote attendance capability (video etc.) than get by on 'free'. This would be assuming that there would be some markup on the remote attendance cost to finance the secretariat etc. I disagree. If the remote participation service is high quality, it should require the same registration fee structure as on-site participation.
Why? Presumably a significant portion of the registration fee goes to pay the venue for use of its space, for food and beverages, and other costs that remote participants don't incur.
