That's a big problem for me.

My company only pays for conferences that are relevant for the 
current project, this means only Java and .NET conferences like 
Jazoon.

I was even denied access to go to a free Microsoft C++ 
conference, because if failed the criteria cited above.

The only time I payed for conferences on my own was twice for GDC 
Europe, when the cheaper tickets were still available under 
500€.
