  1. It could be interesting. But.. by slashdot-terminal · · Score: 2

    There appears to be a great deal of these "conferences" out there. What exactly of consequence goes on there? I really could justify the expense of plane fare if I had a reason.

      I'm going there to meet interesting and fun people. This community is like an extended family, so you can think of these conferences as family reunions :-)

      Yes, the hotels in NYC are increadibly expensive. You can look at some of the hostels though. Some of them are really just a few blocks away from Javits and cost significantly less than a hotel. There's a list of hostels here.
