It cost my employer roughly $2,000 for me to attend the Vancouver IETF for two days. That is $6,000 for the IETF to make $1000. Unfortunately, this is why I haven't made it to nearly as many meetings as I'd like to have over the years. I'm self-employed, with a very small firm, and it's nearly impossible for me to afford it. However, I'm looking forward to this coming March. With the event being only two hours from my home, it'll be a lot easier.... well, except that gas prices will probably cost me almost as much as a cheap hotel. -- Daniel P.
