Best way to go to these conferences is work for a vendor. And find where the best hospitality rooms are. When I was going to remote sensing confabs, the Canajuns had the best hospitality rooms. Big spreads of salmon & beer. Yum.

And for conferences organized for industry groups, the prices are even
worse, like for non-member advanced registration of $1300, increasing to
$1450 (members having about a $400 discount). These are usually
organized by specialized companies that handle everything -- and of
course, they make a living out of it, but most people attending have
their expenses paid by their companies.

> I'm attending the American Society of Hematology conference this weekend in Orlando, Florida. The conference is three and a half days. Members register for $450 and nonmembers pay $850. The conference has over 20,000 attendees from more than 80 countries. I'm sure the logistics are a nightmare. They usually have a dozen or so shuttle bus routes to hotels with 3 or 4 buses running each route from 6AM to 10PM.
