Let me also say, that I fully think their price is fair. It's right in line with most other conferences (if not cheaper). I was just clarifying that the $495 price is not all inclusive. I wish I would be able to attend, but unfortunately money is tight right now for me, and I can't afford it. I most likely will be speaking at the next one (assuming they accept my submission when it comes time) and money won't be an issue.
Jeremy P.S. - In regards to the email below, if you did that you would have to factor in extra gas money, and $10 a day for WIFI access from the hotel. On Mon, 2003-09-15 at 21:23, John W.
