I would much rather pay $200-$300 to have good remote attendance capability (video etc.) than get by on 'free'. This would be assuming that there would be some markup on the remote attendance cost to finance the secretariat etc. I disagree. If the remote participation service is high quality, it should require the same registration fee structure as on-site participation. Thanks, Acee This is not something I would have suggested until recently because the broadband connectivity has not been up to it until very recently.
