Good first post. and good answers (Martin was very honest)
You have to remember that the 180 is the conference, then there is transport, accommodation and ...ahem... sundry costs... so put aside ?500-600 in total.
Is it worth it.? Well it depends who you are and what you want to do. Networking is - as Martin says. senior management... as they are often the only people who can afford to go. Perhaps the IfA should consider this as well. and how it may add to the perception that IfA -= Institute of Management Archaeologists. Does there need to be a specific drive to include more people at the start of the career?
I have yet to decide whether I shall go. cos even here in lofty BAJR Towers, with my gold plated computer keyboard, spending 5-600 quid does make me think twice.
