Wow… Does Mexico really need to have that many people there? It costs about $40k just to be there, plus travel expenses. I’m sure tax payers would be thrilled to know that.
That is really pricey, but I suppose if each person closes a business deal worth more than that then it may pay for itself. Additionally, the dialogue and contacts must be unparalleled. Nevertheless, the event is definitely for *the* elite.
