Try not charging ridiculous prices.

If WhilFest and Essential Fox can do it for the price they charge, so can DevCon.

Also Palm Springs WAS dumb. A long drive from LA or an extra leg if flying in. And at this time fo the year? Yuck!

Gotta think it's because the Advisor people are in San Diego, not a long drive from Palm Springs.

Lots of us independants would go if they made the price reasonable. But they seem to feel worth gearign towards companies with big budgets.

Personally the other conferences are BETTER and cheaper!

>Steve compares the health of the fox market to that of the Comdex market. Comdex exploded after the bubble did. FoxPro and has been in a steady decline. Starting with the FoxPro 3.0 launch until the current conference. A more fair comparison would be to conferences like TechEd. I dont think that TechEd has has as precipitous decline as Comdex has.
