I agree Internet Sales – if we have to cover expenses out of pocket it is something we’ll do. On the other hand any offsetting of costs will be handy.

In terms of Chicago – I’m not sure we’ll do that now that we are running the course on the cruise. I am toying with the idea of some extra time on one or both sides of the cruise though to perhaps do a little consulting if I can work that out.

Darren,
I think its worth a trip for you, even i fyou have to get some out of your pocket.
I think the return from this cruise will be good for you and problogger in general.

I wish I could make it, coz I used to live in Miami and would have been closer.
May be I can attend Chicago(if you arestill planning).

[...] It looks like Darren Rowse will be joining the Blogonomics Blog Cruise 2006 (see website). He will be doing a condensed version of his Six Figure Blogging Course as a 3 hour intense workshop for no extra cost, than the cost of the cruise. [...]

Brian: Royal Carribean is charging Blogonomics about 1000$ per speaker. And, when speakers get the cruise for free for them and their wives… Well, it’s actually quite a bit more than 1200$ by my count.

My point was that while speakers are covering travel to the cruise itself, we’re getting a fair amount of value in return. This is the only conference where I’d pay my own travel though :)

this is brilliant, you can now use a cruise as a tax deduction. Jeremy, they aren’t really out of pocket $1200, they are making something off the cruise, and that itinerary usually runs about $500-700 per person (i’ve been on similar before).

Yep – cruise is covered but the airfares from Aus are more than getting to the UK :-)

Andy,they’re covering the cost of the cruise, so they’re out of pocket about 1200$ already. As a speaker, that’s enough for me.

You mean they’re not paying their speakers at least expenses? Whoa!!! That’s mean. And yes, that is a genuine comment.

I would like to make it, but I’m over here on the otherside of the pond. *waves* Anyone else blog in html like me? or is that just stupid not to use a blogging program?

Utterly outstanding. My jealously knows no bounds! Now we need to think about that Williamstown thing as a Melb version ;)
