Combine that with the lower cost and subsidized travel support program
for the PTG, and you should end up with a more complete gathering of
developers at PTG, and a better interface with users and operators. That
is the theory, and I think it's worth trying to fit one's approach into
that, rather than try to keep doing things the old way and expecting
this new system to work.
Small correction: it does not seem that the PTG was cheaper for people
attending it.
It was substantially cheaper for many folks, actually. The venue chosen
and the city chosen is significantly cheaper than Boston.
Hotel rooms in Boston are *minimum* $350 per night compared with $180
per night in Atlanta's Sheraton.
Those of us in certain companies were allowed to use Airbnb which cut
the lodging costs down even further (around $80 per night per person
compared with $150 average Airbnb prices per person in Boston).
Add to that the lack of expensive vendor parties and nighttime events
(*somebody* ends up having to pay for those things, after all) and the
costs for attending (and putting on the PTG) were indeed cheaper in my
experience.

the Forum to require *additional* budget compared to the classic summit.
