Hi, we realize that many people are concerned about the $195 cost, which is just under a 3x cost of Barcelona($73).
When we get into the real conference costs it turns out that staying in major US downtown city is the real problem. Here’s some tips for traveling to Boston on the cheap.
Airfare: We recommend http://kayak.com Fares from Oakland California are as low as $250. Austin, TX to Boston is $350. $770 London, to Bos. You can take a train from NYC for less than $200.
Hotel: If you have a car, and your willing to commute you can find hotels for as little as $67 a night.
