I see SEGuru is on a panel - along with a bunch of Google, Yahoo!, Alexa, etc. folks.... but I don't see ANYTHING here justifying this $799 registration + travel + hotel + meals, etc.

Anyone ever attend this thing? Does it get a lot of traffic? Are mainstream/eCommerce folks STILL willing to sink this much $$$ in for educational conferences? I really kind of thought that with the death of Comdex the rates would at least drop for these mainstream thingies...

Kath, check out the Calendar of Events at MW for more strangeness:

Here's the bizarre thing ... the conferences to hear the speakers at these things often cost twice as much, yep, $1,400-$1,700 ... but to go through the exhibit hall only is between free and $25-$50.
