Even at $485 I still wouldn't be able to convince my family members to attend.
Weekend passes to an event like Comic-Con or Otakon usually run less than $100. Smaller fan conventions, such as Intervention also keep admissions prices below $100. NECSS, a seemingly similar event, charges $65 for full price tickets. What makes the Singularity Summit so much more expensive than all these other events?
There should be a lot of people reading this who know better than me, but I thought that the Singularity Summit is what pays for many of SIAI's activities.
Also, how many names of speakers at the SSummit do you recognize, and how many at NECSS? I don't know if any of the famous people speak for free.
