Here’s an approximate breakout of conference costs: - General admission + keynote seating pass: $1,499 - Airfare: [add cost] - Round trip transportation between airport and hotel: $50 - Hotel: $400 per night - Meals: $30 per meal - Total: [add total cost] Buying tickets before September 4 will give us a 20% discount on all in-person passes, so I hope to hear from you soon.
