I dunno man, I can go to a 4 day music festival that costs like $250-$300 for the weekend, I'm sure that the budget for the performers is a hell of a lot more than whatever the budget for the speakers at this event is.

The music festival comes out of your budget, not your employer's staff training budget. These conferences can be expensive because the costs are not directly paid for by attendes

A music festival has tens of thousands of attendees. A large conference might have a few hundred . . . and not all conferences are large.

  I've only attended one tech conference in my life and I think the cost was approximately $200. There were approximately 500 attendees. Something doesn't make sense with these prices here.

    I'm guessing the event space is the largest fraction of the cost.
