>> Sounds neat, but I can't see spending nearly $1700 for this. You could go >> to 4 Fox conferences for that price!<<
$1700 is scratching the surface. I've attended several BoS conferences including the 2012. Last year cost me: 1700 fee 550 flight 1000 hotel ($300+ per night) 150 food 90 taxi ====== 3450 cash Plus three normal work days out of the office, a Sunday afternoon traveling, and time away from family. Still, the return on investment from the BoS'es prior to 2012 were well worth the investment. I happen to agree with all of Christof's observations. Maybe it was because we sat next to each other during each of the sessions. In fact, several people from the Fox Community regularly attend BoS, which adds to the fun. My biggest complaint from last year was the lack of speaker concern for attendees by changing topics. Several of the topics I had on my list of reasons to attend were not given. Substituted on-the-fly at the last minute by the speakers. One put up to a vote against another topic and the speaker still gave the one he wanted instead of the one we voted for. A couple were more marketing of the speaker's business than providing insight into something you could learn from. Yet I still walked away with some great take-aways. Probably more from meal conversations than the speaker presentations. But that is the beauty of a conference.
