I think the tech side of the conference has gotten a bit more expensive and extensive. To reach people in the 21st century, we must embrace technology. It's a part of everyones lives. You do have a valid point though, considering that we are renting out smaller facilities than we used to.
Marketing the conference is also a huge expense. There are a lot of huge behind the scene expenses that people don't even think about.
If you think about it, everything is alot more expesive than it was 10-20 years ago. It would be impossible to offer an event on this calliber today with free admission. It just couldn't happen.
