Mostly educators though. I don't recommend going... its mostly just presentations and stuff...

I rather recommend the Scratch Day at MIT. There's many activities and stuff.

Lol yeah. $275, and $375 after May 15. That's a lot. And then RHY3756547 would have to pay another thousand dollars just for a plane ride  tongue

Another reason why not to go...

If Scratch is free, why do they need so much money from Scratchers? If Scratch is free, shouldn't the events be/almost be?

But then it would be incredibly huge, packed, etc. like a can of tuna. Also they serve food, which costs money. Also they supply wifi, (I think), the auditorium or whatever, and other stuff.

No
And it's not like they want Scratcher's money, I mean it's like a convention
Why would kids go there? Unless they want the cure for insomnia (no offense Scratch team)

And the people who would attend are wealthy businessmen interested in Scratch development
