Plus I would have a lot more travel expenses.

 

I'll see you at FINCON.

Every bit helps...

I asked Kay Lynn the same question (a couple of posts ago) :) Without the schedule I am not able to pick one. If I had to, I will pick Friday/Sat just because it will be one less day for me to take off from work. Other than that I have no idea. I am not sure I want to pay almost $500 extra for one extra day. I found 50% off coupons for the expo, but not for the main conference. The max I could find was 20% off for the actual conference. If you manage to find one, can you let me know? Thanks!

@Kay Lynn, which 2 days did you pick?

@Suba, which 2 days would you pick if you only picked 2 days?  Or are you close to splurging for all 3?  That price difference between 2 days and 3 days stings just to look at, but now I will be trying to find those 50% off codes that Kay Lynn mentioned...

For me the extra value comes from different things based on conferences. Some I go for pure knowledge, some networking, some pure fun like Blog Her. I am not an extrovert. So far, I have not met many people/advertisers at the conferences. Blog Her I didn't learn anything :) but the phone I got from HTC itself retails for over $700 so I would say I got plenty of ROI for the money I spent on Blog Her. Most of the time, for me, it is for the sheer amount of knowledge.

Fincon is understandable, but the other ones...

I understand you get to know people and get to know advertisers. but there are online workaround to these. So basically whats the value for money at $2000 +

Can't wait!

I figured I really need that knowledge :) But other than that, I already bought Blog Her, WDS 2012 (that one was expensive) and Savvy blogging summit. There is blissdom and SXSW. Those I don't think I will be attending.

I've never attended one nor have many others I'll bet (FINCON will be my 1st), so I'm just curious as to what they're like & the value proposition.

Maybe someday. If it were in my city I would certainly go, but it gets expensive to go to too many conferences around the country.

Which days did you choose? The difference between 2 day and 3 day pass is huge. If one of those days is not that great, I would go for 2 day pass. 

In any case, I will be going at least for 2 days. I am spending too much on conference tickets Embarassed the 2 day pass would make me cross $3000 in just conference tickets just this month... fun!

It would be interesting, but every year I can't get away in November.

I have to travel so much for work this fall that I can't afford any more weeks away. I need to get other stuff done. I am sure it will be a blast though.

It also looks too expensive for my budget. If I lived in SoCal I'd strongly consider it.

 

I'll be at FINCON though!
