Hello Paris, Devcon breaks even and didn't cost Allaire and yet they achieved much from it on the backs of the partners paying for the event. Devcon is payed for by the partners and should be run by the partners.
Macromedia has been doing a good job in working with us and the price for the new event has been reduced in some areas. So please don't take this single gripe over a very limited issue and turn into more than it is... AbleCommerce has seen a genuine effort on the part of Macromedia to work with it's partners to create a larger pool of ColdFusion users and move ColdFusion into the future.
