Building from the success of the Toronto user group, CppNorth will bring together local and visiting speakers for three days filled with opportunities to learn, network and discover what is new in the C++ community.
Conferences come in two types - the ones that are cheap (to attract average people) and the ones that are super expensive (that corporations pay to send staff to).
E.g. the blackhat security conference in las vegas cost $2900 usd.
I dunno man, I can go to a 4 day music festival that costs like $250-$300 for the weekend, I'm sure that the budget for the performers is a hell of a lot more than whatever the budget for the speakers at this event is.

Meanwhile CCC standard tickets are 175€..
Like...I dunno, it does seem like a lot. But JSWorld was apparently 250EUR for a one-day ticket, so it comes out a slightly worse value.
VueJS Amsterdam is two days for 700 EUR - so that's a considerably worse value. React Miami is $550USD for two days, so that's also a little worse.
PyCon, on the other hand, is substantially cheaper - nine whole days for only $450USD.
It’s typically a training event paid by the employer.
