*What would get me there* 1) Compelling content, especially content I feel I can't get locally. 2) A local experience integrated into the conference that exends my conference experience. 3) Something for "the family". If I'm going far away, bringing the family is a killer card.
*Price* 1) Well, yea! it's a factor, but only 1. I think a 3day conference between $700-$1000 (US) *more costs* 1) I'm not sure a package makes sense unless it is undeniably compelling. 2) One reason for this is that many corp folks in order t get "reimbursed" for travel have to use their corporate travel agents, so be careful there. Easier w/ hotels than airfare. 3) For me personally, cheaper is key, so make sure the package is a deal. *speakers* I want chances to be inspired AND I want chances to make stuff! I need advanced thinking, but about here & now thinking So I don't have names, but a tightly curated conference is key. *content* Balance is key and one should flow to the other and back again. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
