It's less expensive than typical industry conferences but it's about
3x as expensive as CodeCon was, comparing at-the-door charges.  Plus
there's travel and possibly lodging expenses if you're not local to
the venue.  Plus there's extra charges for the tutorials, if you want
to attend those.  All in all, at least this past one was something
that I couldn't seriously consider going to.
