Why Tickets so Expensive for Conferences

[worldtraveller321]

Just a question how come tickets for conferences are so "sell your kidney" prices.
I know there are tonnes of speakers that you have to pay for etc.
but conferences are meant for learning of crypto, how would that be attractive to the average person etc?

[Lakshitha1977]

Mostly conferences are for "investors" of certain projects, or someone willing to invest to the project. People who actually go to those are already earning big from crypto and also willing to spend few thousand dollars.

I really haven't seen expensive conferences that are held for beginners, They are for average people who are willing to learn about the field.

But those ICO conferences are expensive, and we've seen investors even Fly from other countries to attend to those, so not only ticket for the conference they actually can bear the price of plane tickets and travelling.

Mate you are going to attend a non free conference except if you are a VIP. or you won some free tickets. every conference need to have a very educated person who talks an information regarding to crypto industry so you need to pay for it, (everyhing's got a price mate). ICO conference are held within a certain place when they know that there are big investors who want to be partnered with the project and in order for the project be announce clearly to what would be the platform. a conference is different from a party. Crypto is valuable, so it's either you want to learn something and earn from it or otherwise not take the opportunity to learn new informations and strategy.

Most of these conferences are pretty much worthless, you are not missing out.

Go to Youtube and look for the real movers and shakers.

What does it means "to volunteer"? Kinda watching after the conference and serving the drinks? Bah, nice offer but I would reject it

[worldtraveller321]

interesting take, just was looking at all the summits etc, that have over 100 speakers, thought it could be just a way to be around actual crypto people and even learn things from the expos etc

It depends on the popularity of the conference and its speakers. On the other hand, there are plenty of inexpensive meetups where anyone can come. I think that the most valuable thing in the cryptocurrency sphere is networking, which can be started both at conferences and at meetups.

I understand why it is business and the reason price is go down before consensus
and after it the price will fly high

To be frank dear,  those prices are so cheap if you actually know what the worth of those conferences are.  Partnership, endorsement and sponsorship can all be gotten or achieved by just attending such conference. Project A can meet with Exchanger B and they strike a deal immediately because it's face to face which makes it more easier to  trust  one another.

This kind of conferences is not for everyone.
They speak a language that newbie cannot understand most of the times.
I suggest you to look around your area, for more "easy" information conferences, that are also less expensive.
There are tens per week everywhere in the world.

How does one get into the business?

Personally, I think that they have great benefits, this is networking, communication, new acquaintances. All this can be obtained only at a meeting and live communication. Maybe I was lucky, but I left the conference with a lot of useful acquaintances and I liked it. I plan to visit and see my friends

Very often there are days when there is an action for tickets, in honor of the holidays. so they can be won by subscription (I know the lucky ones), but I could not do it))
If you start from the price and look for free (cheap), you can also find them. I think in many cities there is a society (a group of people) ready to meet and discuss the latest news. If there is not yet such a group - you can create it yourself)

There are some conferences that's not costing too much

Demand and supply... as the industry becomes more mainstream, ticket prices will be affected.

there are more then one reason, first of all you can't sell too much ticket.
you want catch only people that have a lot of knowledge in this field (professional, they are ready to invest into a conference meeting) . Plus organizer can repay the expenses of their meeting !

Because guests' transportation fee, hotel fee and other fees are included, and it takes a long time to organize such an event.
