>I'm not trying undermine Advisor here by telling you not to go, but... if its hard to get money, do not go to this conference. Typically (and please feel free to correct me if this is wrong), the hotel, the food, the drinks, are all unnecessarily expensive. Perhaps your money would be better spent on a conference like GLGDW? Or possibly an international one.
for me, every conference is a "international one". :)
damn money...
