Me too.

I'd like to know if it is worth the *money*!  Attending five days
(including a 2-day tutorial) costs $995 ($1095 after Sept 1st).  Just
being there for three days of Conference and Exhibition costs $745
($845)!

Why is it so expensive?  Even considering the 20% discount for
university-types, it still seems overpriced ...
