My personal take is that this is such a unique event, that I am
working with a few folks to assemble a team - and we have all started
saving for it - your right though - 5K per person is huge - but for me
and my team, we think its worth it.

Looks like the UX Challenge organizers changed a few details along
the way.
From the site <http://www.uxchallenge.com/pricing.html>:
- There's a conference fee of $2,000 per person
- The hotel is not included — it's $450 per person for four nights
- Contrary to what is implied on another
page<http://www.uxchallenge.com/concept.html>,
flights from Oslo to Svalbard are not included either
In short, assuming $1,000 for airfare to Oslo (from the USA), it
would cost
close to $20,000 to send a team of five people to the UX Challenge.
And this
is for an event you have to qualify for to even attend in the first
place.
Who do these people think they are?
