"Oh my, we need to save the environment!"

"Yes, let's to talk about it in the desert at a hotel with fountains and lush landscaping and a pool and much consumption!"

"Sounds good! And let's FLY there, too!"

I'd pay happily, if I could. YouTube does very nicely for those of us poorer peeps. Nothing beats live events, true, but the opportunity is in the ideas!

This would be amazing to go to. The price is a bit steep for me, though. Wish I were going, though.

[Doomsetter]

true, at least i can pretend to be rich ;)

[ehsanul]

Yeah, me too. Problem is, you really don't get the whole experience. You don't even get to see all the talks.
