If we did this outside of the US say South America or something.... Who would not be able to attend due to bosses vetoing the idea?
The first one will not happen outside of the US just so you know.
South America is REALLY far unless we are doing Venezuela which seems extreme. I would say let's talk Central America and Caribbean. Safe, close and cheap.
Assume that the cost would be lower (outside of the flight and not necessarily that) and that the travel time would not be much more.

As long as the cost wasn't more than 20% more in total than in the US (hopefully the same or less) my boss wouldn't care. I already have a passport, but might need to renew by that time.

Going to Europe is the killer. While it might be a bit less in the winter, summer 2012 cost me $1800 round trip. The hotels were also easily double what I normally pay in the US (or the same if I'm in SF or NYC).

Dominica needs to do some of the planning. For us $270 down to here wasn't a deal, it was splurging. We could have gotten a bit cheaper. I've gone to Europe (one way) for $135. Important things to do are avoid London like the plague, the taxes there alone make a flight really expensive.

Yeah remember ML/GS has one employee me..... no budget yet for paying someone else to do it. and I did look into it and the cost was VERY high for this.

Yeah, not a cheap thing to do.
-
I've seen vendors do it at a house.

Is it something the vendors could chip in with and help?
-
I think that MangoCon is winning.
-
Yup I guess MangoConn it is!
-
Just have to make sure the marketing makes sense for the bosses in your lives
-
-
It's not a Mangoes in Connecticut thing. Unless we hold it in Connecticut and let me tell you, I'm not attending anything there.
-
Whats the cost of admission? Who are the vendors? Who are the key speakers? Which conference place?
SquishyCon
-
only $250-300 for me to buffalo from NOLA.
-
Has anyone suggested MangoEd?
"I got Mango'Ed!"

I've heard about these fare deals, but they generally only exist from places like NYC or DC or Atlanta, and never include the cost of getting to those cities from elsewhere in the country.

Yeah getting a good deal when you are not near a major hub is impossible!
-
Lately I can't seem to get a ticket to a major hub for less than $250 short of some specials on days that rarely work out for me.
