It can be pricey to go, since it's for several days. Typically the church or district will pay the expenses for a Pastor or district official to go. My parents were both a Pastor and district officials, so I was lucky enough to go to every one up until I moved away when I was 18.
It's sad to see how small it's become. I remember having Conference in the Superdome in New Orleans, LA. There used to be about 15,000+ attending GC's; I believe last year's attendance was well under 5,000.
