I am putting a proposal forth for my attendance at EclipseCon 2008. My
manager has requested to know about costs... How much did the conference
cost last year (or better yet this year)? What was the cost of the
tutorials? Are there special deals being offered on hotels?
Thanks,
Alex

Alex, Lee Anne,

Sorry, it never occurred to me that last year's prices would be useful
information to keep on the conference website. For 2007 the prices were:
Regular attendee $825,$925,$1025,$1125 (Dec 31,Feb 14, Mar 1, on-site)
Tutorials were: $200,$235,$270,$305/unit with a discount for purchasing
multiple units (up to four).
Eclipse Members and Alumni were entitled to additional discounts.

We have not yet decided on the prices for EclipseCon 2008 although the
costs of everything have risen more than you might expect. We will be
posting the prices and opening the registration system the second week
of September if you can wait just a few more days.

We will have both of those rates again this year: a conference center
hotel rate and a rate at the Holiday Inn for people who want to walk (or
rent a Segway or whatever :-)
Regards,
Bjorn

Bjorn, thanks for this info!
In light of the many times I've seen food "flowing" during the
conference, I do recommend the walking to the hotel, for the exercise
alone. :-)

My manager is requested the same information as alex.
Could you please confirm that the 'Passport' registration was about $825
in 2007 (before Dec 31) ?
The discount of 15% for people who have already attend an EclipseCon
will be still available for 2008 ?
Stephane.
