1000$ for that Miami conference wow.
Why not 1000 sats ?
It costs money to put on a conference... and especially such a large conference.
Sure, maybe they did not strike a good balance this year in regards to price versus expected attendance levels.. and so it likely is not easy to determine those kinds of matters, when the likely attendance levels may well vary quite a bit this year as compared with last year...
I have not seen the latest numbers, but I thought that they might have been anticipated quite a few less than half of the number of participants as compared to last year's 30k-ish levels, even if initially, they were likely hoping to reach similar levels as last year.. but even those very large numbers (like last year) become unwieldy too.. so increases in prices would surely cause the number of attendants to go down, one would think.
It costs money yes, and you have corporate stands rented to companies, sponsors, etc.
I guess the goal isn't Bitcoin evangelization, but only business people talking to business people.
