Registration is only $160. probably the lowest in the whole circuit.
Now for those interested, let's do some maths 
1 badge = $160
1 Table including 1 badge = $250
only $90 for the table
2 Badges = $320
1 Table including 1 badge = $250 + 1 additional badge @ $100 = $350
only $30 for the table
3 Badges = $480
1 Table including 1 badge = $250 + 2 additional badge @ $100 = $450 
you save $30 and have the table |
Plus $800 round trip plane tickets to and from Montreal, A decent hotel will be about $100 or more a night, so that's an extra $500... So I'm paying $1500+ for something that I can do for free... That's not counting no work being done for 5 days...
I see shows like I seen college... I could go to college, pay all this money and meet good people, experience things... Or I could just skip college, and spend that time making money instead of spending money, and still get the same out of it.
I've been a programmer for 14 years, I have more skills and knowledge teaching myself than my buddy who graduated college for computer science... He has a $30,000 debt to the college, while I've made more than that in a single year...
I guess if partying and talking face to face with people who may or may not be customers is your thing, go ahead... But like I said, 12 years experience without it, I am content.
