i agree. furthermore, $200-300 to get in, plus travel and accommodation expenses (either in $$ or time if going the car-sharing and couch-surfing route) networking is definitely important, but only if you have someone on your team who is super prepared and ready to take advantage of the experience. (personal note: while that person could be me, i much more enjoy staying home to code and go salamander wrestling)
