That's sounds pretty standard to me.
Conferences come in two types - the ones that are cheap (to attract average people) and the ones that are super expensive (that corporations pay to send staff to).
E.g. the blackhat security conference in las vegas cost $2900 usd.

- bawolff 1y agoIndeed. CCC is a "hacker" conference, blackhat (despite its name) is much more corporate [i have not attended either]
- tlavoie 1y agoThat, I'd love to attend, and it's even a price the boss would go for. Sadly, it's the travel part that I can never get funded.
- bawolff 1y agoThat's the other aspect - a thousand dollar ticket isn't that large a part of the price if you also have to fly everyone in and get hotels for multiple days (and probably a nice hotel in an expensive location)
