geez I had no idea it cost $8,500 to attend

  I'm struggling to understand why anyone would pay this. What is the perceived value?

    The sense of smugness you will achieve is worth it to some people.

    The value is in networking (meeting other like-minded people who can afford the $8,500 price of admission).

      You're probably right, although I'm thinking that there must be more efficient ways of networking. I was considering going to Google I/O this year for the networking, but have decided that it's probably not worth the $3k it would cost me. Perhaps someone needs to come up with a social networking tool for people like HN readers.
