We came to that conclusion - it was something not to be missed. A major sponsor from years ago came through with a $5K donation, so we are registered and going. Now we have a slightly less frantic time to raise the travel funds. Our problem with the registration fee was mostly timing - it seems 1.5 working days after the event to raise $5K is just too short, but it did help focus the effort :-).
