I dont care about the gyan i will get for my 200 bucks. What i do care about is not to pay 200 bucks to attend my glug-bom meet. It just dosnt seem right to me. I dont mind paying the money to attend the conf though.
Interesting statement.
Only since the glug-bom meet and the conference are essentially one event in this instance, you will have to pay the fee. The conference includes tea etc... so its not really a loss for you.
