How much did it cost you to go to....

Yeah, I should clarify a few things on my numbers... I was only there 3 nights, and it's a cheap flight from Atlanta. Most of what I spent was on food and drink. And as GonZo said, I *choose* to spend more than I have to on those.

There was very affordable food offered at the convention, looked decent, but with great restaurants nearby, you know a true FFN aint eating hotel food. And yes, there were drink tickets to be had, but I like top shelf....again, my choice.

Now Miami Internext, I'd likely spend $3K. The hotel is a Westin and pricey. Registration fee's are higher. And there's no cheap food to be had anywhere nearby.

Your math is good rhetorical! And Gonzo mostly filled in the blanks.

For starters I'm not a good example as I'm the show organizer... but here's the breakdown...

5 hotel nights = $750
registration = free
Flight = $300
out of pocket for food / beverage / incidentals = def. less than $150

Fortunately my booze was sponsored by someone at every turn... food too. It's good to be the king (of cybernet). Strippers was my only real out of pocket expense and we won't go there.

Very useful thread. It is always interesting when folks post numbers. I think that is good business intel for everyone.
