Just how much are "professional conferences"? It is a little hard to
compare but here are some examples I found.
JavaOne: http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf/registration.jsp about
$2,490.00 to $1,695.00.
OSCON: https://en.oreilly.com/oscon2008/public/register$1345.00 to
$1990.00.
SEPG 2006:http://web.archive.org/web/20060206175652/www.sei.cmu.edu/sepg/register.html
$1,245
This year YAPC was $100.00 and if you took classes it was an
additional $200.00 so YAPC is about $300.00.
I am tried to find prices that would be comparable to each other. I
am providing links for you to make your own judgments but my take away
from this is that the perception of a Professional Conference is over
$1000.00. This means we would need to add $700.00 to the YAPC price
to make it "Professional". I am very concerned about that.
But maybe someone has a better analysis.
I don't mean to sound negative about this at all. I am looking for a
good solution to help everyone come to YAPC.
Thanks
Robert
