Yep I'm planning on going on 09 as long as the dates work out, I'm starting work on a large project in July and it sounds like it will mesh well with a lot of the networking aspects of the conference and the information can't hurt either.

I would say that the conference is worth the $5,000, but only if you are willing to put in the work. A lazy or unmotivated person has no business attending Elite Retreat - it would be a total waste of money. Attending any conference in itself is not a secret pill to success. However, like Scott mentioned above, it's the atmosphere and the networking opportunities that will make your hard work even more productive. Do you plan on going next year? Hey Ben,

Do you plan on going next year?

It sounds like its just a great place to meet some people with interesting projects and to brainstorm some great ideas. I'll be looking at going in 09 if the date falls in the right place.

The somewhat "loose" style of much of information presented did not seem to completely justify the expense alone, but I MADE it "worth it" through interaction both in session and outside, socializing with the presenters and attendees. There's no way I'll miss next year!
