This has occasionally caused some concern, but it is fairly standard for smaller conferences like this, including our sister conference PICC out east. Most of the funding for the conference comes from registrations, with some of the more expensive bits coming from commercial sponsors. If this presents an unsurmountable hurdle to anyone, please submit your Talk proposal anyway and let us know. Registration is not open yet, but you can get an idea of the cost by looking at last year's conference: http://casitconf.org/casitconf11
