- #I won't debate that DECUS is a good thing to be at (it is), however
- #it has gotten expensive to go to a DECUS Symposium. A fair number of
- #people are "shielded" from that expense because they are spending
- #their employer's money, and not their own.
- ..
- #I stated at an open Board meeting about a year ago that I felt
- #that DECUS was making a mistake in raising prices. I felt the
- #economy didn't support a price increase, and that "simple supply
- #and demand" would cause attendance to fall.
- #
- #I also pointed out that the DECUS cities (Atlanta, New Orleans,
- #Anaheim, Las Vegas, San Francisco) traditionally were expensive,
- #and suggested that cheaper alternatives be sought.
-
- Hear Hear! Let's form a campaign to move DECUS symposiums to
- cheaper cities. Call it, say... DECUS Tucson '95!!!
-
- (Not to detract from John's comments, which are right on target,
- but then the DECUS board is more interested in their perks than
- convention attendance, to witness past years.)
