True. However, I did not mention newcomers to the industry in my reply. Additionally, most of the people in these sort of threads are industry vets who no longer go to shows, and cite them being lame or that they get no value from them any longer. If you've been in this industry for any period of time, you should have the $1-2k to invest in one of the biggest shows of the year.

I specifically cited U.S. based adult industry folk in my reply. That being said, I flew 1st class and it was somewhere around $800.00. Coach at the time I scheduled my flight was $500-600.00 through Delta. It's usually in that ballpark when I schedule cross country.
I had a suite in Casino Tower (versus standard room in Paradise), plus the flight, food, and such my total bill would have been around $1800-2000.00. I gambled some while there, and was comped for most of my room/expenses. Leaving me the cost of the flight and change. I met a couple of my mainstream hosting guys, closed a deal while there for significantly more than $1000.00, or even $2000.00. Meaning, I made my money back and then some. Plus I had gotten to meet some new folks, kick around ideas, and who's to say if those will generate me more than $1000.00 over the course of the year.
The point was, the conference is what you make out of it.
