Steve,
compared to the more focused commercially run conferences, you are correct.
Compared to other non profit/volenteer conferences you are expensive .

Does any of it matter once common prices itself out of the affordable range
to employer? Common should be able to  review their records and determine how
attendance is tracking against conference fees and accommodation prices

Today's four day conferences have many people leaving early on day four as
they did on day five.  This is a very normal happening for the last day of
most conferences.
