Marcus - are you planning on going?  This will be my first Conj, and I'm going 
no matter what it takes.

Alex, I mentioned to Lynn that the agenda for Conj#4 was published too 
late.  I'd have loved to come up to Alexandria (especially with the train 
station so convenient) and kept my streak going - but I needed to see an 
agenda before committing.  Unfortunately, it didn't materialize in time and 
I had to miss.  Aargh.

I'd attend regardless of the agenda - there's always enough good stuff to make 
it worthwhile, and there's also the very important "hallway track".

That said, the real killer last year was the cost of the hotel. For myself and 
my colleague - both West Coast - we both had to stay three nights and that 
meant nearly $900 each, just for the hotel! That makes the Conj a very 
expensive proposition.

I shared my room with a random Clojurian to save costs but that isn't always 
possible (or appropriate).

I hope the venue is chosen with _cost_ in mind this year!

Agreed. We will try to publish sooner this year.

Hi Sean, 

Cost is _always_ in mind when choosing venues and we always try to get the 
best rate we can to keep overall attendee costs down. Depending on time of 
year, dates, venue choices, etc things don't always work out the way we'd 
like. Those rates directly affect our bottom line as well for speaker hotel 
rooms, so we are equally as motivated to find the best rate we can!

We are in discussion with some possible venues for this year and hope to 
have more info in a few weeks.

Alex
