One important detail missing is how many attendees there were at these conferences. I’ve been to a number of conferences where we spent a lot of time learning how to do our job better, learn what new products are available, how to use new equipment, etc.. A little ‘back of the envelope’ calculation shows that that works out to less than $230K per conference. That’s outrageous for a two day conference attended by 50 people, but cheap for a 5 day conference for 1000.
