I would have to agree with Leslie. It was wonderful to put faces and names together, to chat. I learned a dozen simple things that truly sped up the practice. I helped others and they me. It was almost like the users board was turned live but Jon and his crew were there both showing things and taking notes. They possibly learned more than us.
I would agree a nice place would be great, but there are liekly to be people in every capacity from lookers to novices to regular and power users at the conference. It would be nice to be have Jon's staff there not so much as formal teachers but as coaches and additional listeners.
Cost counts. A $50-75 dollar a day difference may have a big impact on those who practices are either starting up or barely breaking even, or those who want to bring the wife and kids. Cape Cod is looking at about $200 a night. That's $600 + conference costs, and maybe no CME. Yes, it is still tax deductable but.
