If you are going to do that, I would prefer to just have an online event and
save EVERYONE their thousand dollar plane ticket and hundreds of dollars for a
hotel room, not to mention taking off of work for a week, being away from your
spouse or family, etc. If someone isn't interested enough to show up at the
event, then I don't think it's THAT important to them that they participate. If
someone is flat poor, then it's possible that arrangements can be made. They
have been talking about getting plane tickets for some people already.
