What if we could go to $350 ?  I agree that $25/$50 bucks is a drop in the
bucket, but the Symposium price is a number that DECUS has control over.

DECUS doesn't control airfares, hotel prices or the cost of food...

Agreed.  I'd like to see these options stressed in the Symposium
documentation.  The more information we provide to attendees about
how to do DECUS cheaply, the better.
